Sure, but if the embargo was September 1st, or even the same day I get my book, that all would still apply; and I would have access to the product.
What is the purpose of building hype for a product I can't have?
If you still want to buy it after them doing this, then that's exactly the purpose.
I mean I already bought it, before I knew about any of this pre-release or embargo stuff.
I'm also not sure your logic tracks even if I hadn't bought it.
I am excited for a product. They build hype. I'm still excited, but also annoyed.
But if I weren't excited. They build hype. Now I am excited, but also annoyed.
I fully understand why they release it to "influencers", but why prevent me from having the product? They've made the sale. I'm in. All they're doing is preventing further sales. If I can't have the thing I bought then I can't want more of a similar thing.
