What an interesting and educational read here, it was quite good to read you. I never pre-ordered a game in my life, if I ever did I don't remember it although I'm sure it never happened. I suppose that because of your experience in that subject you must have a very solid base regarding what you tell us here.
The way things are nowadays I guess it is a waste of time to make any pre-order of any game, there are so many complaints that you hear later, then you are left with a great uncertainty about whether the game really ends up being so bad, if it was me, in that case I would just wait for the final release and that's it, I would investigate a little in the opinions of the community and make a decision whether to buy the game or not. But well, everyone makes the best decision they see fit.
And that brief story of your parents with the lady who offered him 200$ for your game, that was a little sad on the lady's part, I guess he was desperate to get that game for his son.
Thanks for all the info bro! Nice to stop by and read you, greetings!
When developers were more trustworthy I had no problem pre-ordering a game. But the fact nowadays is that developers will lie about a game even after it releases. The whole situation with the Saints Row Reboot proves that. The developers were lying even after the game launched.
