In this specific instance, I am mildly surprised preorders weren't offered. That would have taken some load off their servers and granted them money sooner; win-win for them.
- egeres 1y agoThat's because the studio's ethics are against pre-orders (and of course any type of lootboxes, microtransactions etc). I'm also happy they settled on a relatively low price tag of 19.50€, other studios would have marked it around 60€ to milk their user's wallets taking advantage of all the anticipation built up these years, kudos to team cherry
- shadowgovt 1y agoInteresting. I hadn't considered the possibility that the studio had a say in the preorder process, since the marketplace company is a separate company.
- bilekas 1y agoAgree with you actually, I think every 'gamer' has bitten the bullet on a pre order and been very disappointed. It's usually the publishers decision in the end and it's to guage demand, but in this case, it shows there is a less greedy reason for doing it sometimes.
- whatevaa 1y ago90% preorders are terrible deals. Games are bugfest on launch. There was one game I violated no-preorder policy of mine - Cyberpunk, and everybody knows how it went (very poorly). No-preorders is basically same as no-capes. Just don't do it.
