Perfect! I did the right thing. I would not want to pre-order anyways I want steam to get their cut asap.

It doesn't make any difference now or ever, really. This mini-war about the subject has no light in the end of the tunnel for no side.

More of a case where people like you do not even know that Steam consider them to be different things. But you clearly know everything.

There are no pre-orders on Steam. There are pre-purchases.
You are charged as soon as you order the game.

He knows the difference.

He just meant that whatever you choose to call it, it won't matter in the end. It'll just be a lot of typing and banter for nothing.

But I'm with you. Let's call it a pre-purchase.

A pre-purchase of Starfield sounds absolutely wonderful.

In what world have I said that I "know everything" or how did you came into conclusion that I don't know the difference between PO and PP?

I was simply referring specifically to the current situation with Starfield and the stupid mini-war going on between people here. No need to be a ♥♥♥♥ about it...

There was not a mini-war over the meaning of PO and PP. You named it that.

I commented because I saw that many were confused over a term that even Steam took the time to clarify. And I imagine they wasted the time and effort because they saw a good reason for it. But what does Steam know compared to you!!

You jumped the gun.

Pre-ordering, pre-purchasing, the semantics are irrelevant as it refers to the same thing.

The dictionary differentiates the terms as either payment for a service (preorder) or payment for an item (prepurchase).

In the end, the meaning is the same, as in you acquire something by paying in advance.

Pre-purchasing is technically the correct literal term but pre-ordering is also valid.

And I wasn't taking strictly about the differences, but the actual fact that people in this forum are fighting over whether one bought the game in advance or not, essentially making your thread just another pointless topic over something so stupid to fight about to begin with.

This is the kind of post I was referring to.

PLEASE READ - Steam has taken the time to clarify in print the difference because there was confusion. And I imagine they did it fir a good reason.

But we now have another expert that knows better then Steam. :)

You're just repeating yourself with no real argument, ignoring my point.

I beg to differ since it was completely clear what I was talking about, but you decided to bash it. Nevertheless, it's not going the change anything, since this thread has no point anyway.
