      The people that preorder clearly aren’t listening

      Like at least find out if the planets are any good first and not just 2000 procedurally generated flavors of bear asses to collect.

      Hopefully there’s a whole RPG game in there and those are just side stuff to muck around and get some loot.

      Why are people advising against pre-ordering? Is Bethesda known for not meeting expected release dates?

        Basically, preordering incentivizes companies to release games that are not finished. In general, companies will always maximize revenues while minimizing costs. If they can release a game that didn’t cost them as much to produce (getting massive preorders through good marketing but pinching development and quality) then they absolutely will. look at any AAA released this year

        Why are people buying products that they can’t even have until release day?

    People will never learn to not preorder games. I have no hope for humanity at this point.

    Preordering is dumb, preordering in 2023 when it’s 50/50 whether any given PC port is going to be a total mess is dumb

    Wish people would wait to see what the game is actually like rather than blindly trusting a corporation… Consumerism sucks

    Another proof for publishers that they only need big promises and nice trailers to sell their game, nevermind the state they ship it in

      My tactic of waiting a year until a newly released game is fully patched and grabbing it with a discount has yet to fail me.
