Why do these companies feel the need to say things like this, it always comes back to bite them in the ass. Nobody will be surprised by bugs in starfield so they should shut up about it.
Because they want to move pre-orders. The whole 45 minute direct was a massive ad campaign to get people to start buying it from now. And it's working, right now it's the #1 seller on Steam.
It's working its pull on me. I am desperately arguing with myself here. Like, i know i will buy it week 1 in ANY CASE. So why not pre-order? Just this once.
Don't do it mate, the game could be broken on release. Wait for reviews at least, it's not like the game will be in limited supply.
I have gamepass so it is what it is
But why pre-order it? Why is the question why not?
So i can play it sooner. Experience all that crqxy shit. Bugs and all
Pre-ordering doesn't allow you to play it sooner (in any reasonable meaning of that). You can still purchase it as soon as it's out. It's not limited. All that pre-ordering does is takes the money out of your wallet and puts it in theirs while you wait.
Maybe pre-ordering you can pre-load, but that's not that significant usually, if it even pre-loads at all and isn't just dummy data.
