Pre-ordering this game?!

[Laparin]

Saw a lot of posts where trolls run rampant claiming pre-orders are bad, I just wanna say I DID buy a premium pack before I even tried the beta, just based on YT videos, and the Beta just solidified my decision to keep that pre-order. What I cant understand is why the haters are so passionate about stopping sales. If you dont like this kind of game, dont buy it, for the rest of us that do, you dont get to tell us how to spend our money.

"Price is what you pay, value is what you get"

For what I paid, I believe I will get a lot of value out of this product, but that is subjective. If you dont think you will get value, then don't buy it, you can watch the livestreams

As we can see at the Game you are playing.

In the interest of steel-manning, I think some people are encouraging the entire gaming community to avoid pre-ordering as a matter of principle in order to wait for non-censored reviews by streamers and/or friends instead of buying games on the false premises of marketing, hype, "vertical slices" and deceptive, scripted videos.
If more games had demos and/or a longer refund window, many situations of buyer's remorse could be avoided, but with the current industry practice of putting in a lengthy and well-polished tutorial followed by broken promises, unfinished story, missing or broken features and hiding it outside the refund video, trust in the games industry is at a bit of a low at present.

The people calling for collective action could be attempting to protect every gamer's interests, even if their strident tone makes them come across as shrill and hostile towards even those they are trying to look out for.
I'd recommend taking a charitable view and just ignoring them if they start getting to you, though I also understand their frustration at being unable to convince the wider gaming community to forego the FOMO-inducing pre-order bonuses to make an unpopular but necessary political statement, to force the publishers or developers to not use such cheap manipulative tricks to sell you a product on false premises.

But hey, as long as you can stand by your decisions, your choices are as valid as anyone else's.
