I would if I'd be a billionaire. Alas, I'm not =))

It's as bad as those idiots that stayed up till midnight to buy Diablo 2.




*cough*

Bad cough that since you seem to have had it for nineteen years now.

He is enjoying what he does, though....and one of those things is wondering why some pre order games a year in advance. Seems to be nothing wrong with that. :\ It's much better than more mean things one can say, though, and allows one to vent against things they dislike a bit without being too mean or singling certain people out.

Also it's fair to remember that if the OP had said DRM was stupid and those who use it are stupid he'd likely be getting a ton of +1s and people agreeing with him.

Not entirely true considering some games attach preorder bonuses to their preorders. I guess it covers the eventuality that you might forget about the release and miss the bonus that way. I also think preordering is a bit less of an issue now if you buy it where you can refund it without too many issues.

If I was someone with plenty of disposable income I'd probably preorder games I'm interested in when it was possible

You won't be laughing when they run out of Cyberpunk keys, and you can't play the game while we can!

Anyway, for me the one and only reason to pre-order Cyberpunk was to show my support towards CDPR and GOG. I did the same with The Witcher 3, and never regretted it.

Other than that, I don't preorder games.

Oh, there's something I'm going to pre-order as soon as I figure out how...

Extra Lives/spare time? o.0

I'm not going to make any assumptions about other people's reasoning for pre-ordering - but I think you're all possibly missing the point. Pre-ordering Cyberpunk 2077 - specifically - isn't simply about buying an unknown product that we're looking forward to playing. It's about making some noise.

When companies say that single player games are dead, I'm happy to support something that says otherwise.
When companies say that DRM is necessary, I'm happy to support something that says otherwise.
When companies say that games as a service are what we all want, I'm happy to support something that says otherwise.
When companies say that microtransactions - excuse me ... "surprise mechanics" are something we enjoy, I'm happy to support something that says otherwise.

I could make this list 5 times as long. For many of us this isn't simply about pre-ordering a game we're looking forward to - it's about making it all-too bloody obvious that there's a market for excellent games that treat customers with respect. If that's not your bag, no big deal. You do you.

For the record, I almost never pre-order games, either, but CD Projekt have earned considerable respect and trust. I think that counts for a lot.

Given how far I am from civilization, ordering a pizza to be delivered is essentially the same thing as pre-ordering it one year out

Homemade pizza is great, forget the ordered stuff, it's the reward that taste better! :)

That's true.

I used to do that all the time.
I should look into it again.

I'd have to do it during the slow season though; not in the summer.

FWIW I find SOME(very few but still some) takeout pizza to be good, same with other fast food places. :)

I personally love Pizza hut and little cizars pizza in Ontario as all we have after that is pizza pizza and dominos and mamas pizza. and pizza nova.

You know there is only ONE good pizza place in the Keweenaw?!
ONE!

WTF!?
