Preorders don't make any sense, *maybe* you can save some money initially up front but the risk of preordering means that often time you don't really get the game any faster than anyone else and you're locked into buying the software from a particular place. The key to saving money is to waiting until the last minute, you are almost always going to save money if you're flexible with your shopping
Sorry but I like my money, just because you choose to spend it frivolously doesn't mean I should.
I show support by playing their game. There is no proof whatsoever that by playing a game on gamepass that you are hurting developers. When that evidence comes out that developers are putting themselves out of business because Microsoft is holding a gun to their head in regards to putting games on gamepass then you can say "told you so".
Until then gamepass is the best option for people who like to play a LOT of games and the best way for developers to reach a significant audience instantly.
No like for you.
Listen a lot of people preorder . For several reasons.
I do. Not always. I agree there is no benefit to it other than you get doom 64 with doom ethernal thats the only reason i preordered it.
Back in the days when i pre ordered in store i got my little fancy box some fancy books with the game etc.
Digital preorder barely gives you any extras.
In fact my backlog is so huge i can play all next gen and buy a ps6 cuz thats how long i need to finish all . You know kids ugly wife shitty life etc.
So by the time i get to xy game its already on sale. Nonpoint paying full price if you dont touch it for months right?
But here is my dillema.
I have everything and the only thing i can think of for christmas is buy games.
No game interests me now so i say pre order me game for next year at least ita done and i got my present.
Now after spending money on those pre orders they just tell us oh by the way you can get it for free on game pass.
Mind you cyberpunk is up for pre order almost 6 months.
Imagine how many idiots like me pre ordered in 6 months.
Yes pre ordering digital is dumb and risky as you have to pay full in advance not knowing if game is any good or if it will be canceled.
But sometimes when you know its a good game and you have the money , well you do dumb things.
I got dumbed, lubbed with the devils spit and fucked.
All me and sure others are wondering in a case like this ,will we be refunded if we already have game pass or not.
Awaiting only smart replys no smart assness
