MODERATORS
I stopped preordering unless it's a project that I 100% believe in.
Usually it's titles from studios that never miss like Supergiant Games or small dev team projects with a solid demo.
CD Project RED used to be one of those studios that never miss, but then Cyberpunk happened. So it's never a true guarantee.
They've fixed Cyberpunk and it's a great game now. I learned with No Man's Sky that it's important to give people a second chance to fix mistakes. Nobody will always deliver a solid product on launch, eventually everyone will stumble. If it's their first time, I'm not going to hold it against them as long as they take steps to make it right.
They've fixed it to a point where it's a great game, I agree. But this post is about preordering and preordering and then having to wait for more than a year to play a properly fixed game beats the purpose of preordering in the first place. You could get it for a steep discount at that point.
