Has anyone actually preordered?

[DrLegit]

It seems this game is getting a lot of support from people who haven't even bothered to preorder the game. I doesn't feel organic that there's no substance behind the support. Am I missing something?

I've seen a few mouse icons floating around here on Steam, but this isn't really the place to discuss the game if you're looking forward to it now is it? This is where people who aren't buying the game tend to congregate and get mad at the game they're NOT buying.

Then there's people who use GamePass so ordering through Steam would be pointless.

Then there's people who get the game via resellers at a discount, who won't show up on Steam until they get a key.

Then there's folks like me who tend not to pre-order games before getting some concrete idea of how the game plays. I want to see some reviews from people who have played it post release.

Well I mean KCD:2 is having the same sort of controversy right now but there are many many more people on that discussion that have actually preordered the game.

[John Fromthegarden]

The first one came to GamePass after a year, so far there is no word on the sequel. People who want to play it at launch will have to buy it through Steam or wherever.

Obsidian is an XBox Studio so Avowed comes to GamePass on day one, as will The Outer Worlds 2.

I have no need for GamePass because there's a lot of games on there that do not interest me. I will buy an Avowed key at a discount shortly after launch because the asking price is nutty badgers.

yes, me.

[Lord Gorzul]

Doubt many have.
The game's sales rank is 404 (interesting number).
And that's quite worrisome for a big title releasing in 3 weeks.
Obsidian has been my favorite studio, I really hope this unnecessary behavior doesn't cost them dearly.

I pre-ordered, going to give it a chance. Still wish that Obsidian would chime in on all this Matt Hansen rants debacle, though.

Honestly the time to make a statement would have been IMMEDIATELY following the posts. As much as I am looking forward to Avowed, Matt Hansen was undoubtedly very unprofessional, considering his position as a director on the team.

At this point however, it's damned if they do, damned if they don't. Even if they starting laying people off it would be "too little too late" for the majority of angry people. It does go without saying that he's been given a talking to at the very least, since his Bsky account has been radio silence since that night.

They might think twice about how they discuss things internally as well, considering the messages that were leaked. I've seen this happen before, where a handful of people on a team get complacent, assuming everybody feels the same way and all it takes it one person to disagree and share something with the media and your whole team is in hot water, even those who just keep their heads down and do the work.

I've been in this situation before, and its not pleasant.

I've seen 3 mouse icons, so I know at least 3 people have bought the game.

Don't know why they would since it's on GamePass. But I don't recommend preorders for digital content unless there is some sort of must have bonus. At least wait for a review.

I'm waiting for the reviews from Wario64 to drop a few days before release
I want to buy it, but I'm going to wait.
