Is it possible to upgrade a pre order to deluxe so I don't have the late penalty
I didn't realize when pre ordering (pre ordered my code from elsewhere) that there was a $10 extra charge to play the game at its REAL release. I'll pay the tax but is it possible to do so without pre ordering again and having to cancel.

Sadly I don't think so. You're probably best refunding and rebuying.

Yeah, probably this. Because I don't think the Upgrade will be available, until the actual release. That's what I've been hearing at least.

Such a scummy thing to do.

"It's an EARLY release."

No, it's a RELEASE. Something is only "early" if it's not intended to be out by that point. Otherwise it's an intentional release. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ extortion.

If it is less than 14 days you can brake you buy, and after bought again after the cash back deluxe edition.

There are no plans to upgrade to Deluxe Edition.

"Hi, thank you for your interest in Hogwarts Legacy! If you pre-ordered the Standard Edition, there are no announced plans to offer a Deluxe upgrade at this time. We recommend reaching out to PlayStation support so they can assist you further if you wish you change your preorder."

Intended by who?

Do you see what I'm getting at here?

Who decides when it comes out? The publisher. Who is releasing it early? The publisher. They INTEND to release it on the 7th for people who pay $10. That's not early. It's extortion.

If it was INTENDED to be released on the 10th, no one would be playing it on the 7th.

With your logic does something like Early acces doesn't exist. Because right in the moment where it gets on to be played it is released for you, that means Day Z back then, was instantly released, Grounded... I thought the release date wasn't this far ago but hey in your logic it is released since years, and so on. Again intended was is the 10. of Feb, on this day we even get the day 1 Patch if there is any, not on the 7. of Feb, thats just, hey hop on a little bit early

There are sellers that work together with steam and it's totally ok to buy from them. (Humble Bundle for example)

Early Access means playing the game before it's finished. In that sense, it really is early.

The game is NOT intended for a Feb 10th release. Who is in control of the game? The publisher.

What is the publisher doing? Releasing it on the 7th for $10

Does the publisher INTEND to do this? Or are they accidentally doing it?

If they're intending to do it, and if the game IS being released on the 7th, then the game is INTENDED to be released on the 7th.

You do not get anything worth it in the deluxe though...just the evil clothing...and tha'ts about it...which just makes it weird...as in why not create some positive stuff also...but only evil themed items...makes you think....

it is a lazy money grab tactic...to pretend to release the title couple days later, and ask for $$ to make people feel special they get to access something earlier...usually the week willed go for that sort of stuff...rather than use that money for something that is actually of some worth...but then again ego makes people do funny things...
