I understand the hesitation on most games but I will absolutely preorder or day one order for a company like Supergiant, Jeppe Carlsen, Subset Games, Kojima. IMO they never make bad games, early games rarely have issues and I know that I'm supporting them to have garenteeed capital for more development, etc.

Anyone else have game developers that you have complete confidence in day one?

Nothing wrong with buying on day one, but don't pre order. I get your point, they don't make bad games, but we've seen this pattern often where beloved devs fall from grace. It's just not worth it. Like they said, they don't run out of digital copies.

If you really really wanna preorder something physical, maybe I can understand that, but I really only do PC gaming as of now, console gaming for me is pretty rare, so I don't have much of an opinion on it.

I'll buy Silksong day 1, as long as it's less than $50
