Pre Ordered Game Key

[chilllex]

Hey Guys,

I just bought a Product Key for the Deluxe Version of Hogwarts Legacy.

I bought it now because i want the pre Order Bonus for the Game. But now i have realized that i will not recieve the Key beforehand but only when the game release. (For Deluxe Version on 07. Febuary because there is a 72 Hour early acsess).

Will i still recieve the pre Order bonus or do i only recieve it when i buy the game on steam?

I already asked the store for help but they were not able to help me.

did i ♥♥♥♥ up?

Thx for you help

the pre order bonus will be given automatically when the game is ready to download and install.

if you never receive it after you download and install the game and enter the game

you can contact the Game Developers support there about it.

What you get with your pre-order depends on the offer from the shop where you purchased the game.
As Steam does not sell product keys, you will have to take it up with the shop where you bought it.

Yeah i tried to contact the Shop (MMOGA) but their only response was: "According to the supplier, there might be a pre-order bonus" so now i dont know if i should just revoke it and buy the game on steam or just try it out when it realises.
Only that at that point of time it will no longer be possible to get the bonus.

So, you've bought from an unauthorized reseller who is simply scamming you with vague promises and you think about if you want to let get yourself scammed?

Get your money back and buy from an authorized reseller.

[chilllex]

what ITAD deems "possibly authorized and reputable enough". in reality no one knows.

Or at least any other authorized reseller.

What's wrong with buying it from steam I wonder? Certainly less drama that way.

you know when something is wrong on this rock when there are pre-order guides for a video games:
https://www.ign.com/articles/hogwarts-legacy-release-date-preorder-guide
because different vendors have different pre-order bonuses.
the game also has mtx .. single player.

anyway...
1) do not pre-order
2) do not buy on release day
3) wait for reviewers
4) wait for patches
5) wait for discounts

by following these easy steps, you make the video game industry more safe for consumers, thx

depends on what game.

Digimon Survive which i bought for nintendo switch to play as "pre-order" comes out completely fine.

even the bonus arrive safely too but it requires a few in-game process just to get it and someone wrote a guide for it too.

-----------------------------------------------------------

as for waiting for "discounts", there isn't a need to if you are 1000000% interested in getting the game regardless of the price.

------------------------------------------------------

my advice is this

1) if you want the game so badly and don't care about the "bonus content that comes from pre-order", then get the game regardless of price

i'm very sure there are plenty of people who pre-order Hogwarts Legacy just to play the game and they don't care about the "bonus content" at all.

the same is true when there is expansion pack for World of Warcraft as pre-order too.

up to peoples' choice to choose what type of version of the game they want to get.
