This game looked like trash from the announcement trailer, anyone lining up to pre-order a Bethesda game though, what can you do? Some people want to get their pockets picked.

This time it will have 64 times the details!
I found out payday 3 was announced from this post, so thanks I guess.

$70, I guess this is the world we live in now. Can't wait for the next price hike!
I guess I'll become a PatientGamer™
Back when I was young, most games cost around $50. But back then they were 1/100th the size and complexity they are now, had absolutely no post-launch support whatsoever, and and even “AAA” titles used pixel art. They didn’t even have voice acting.
If I adjust for inflation alone, no other factors, a $50 game from back then would be $91 today.
I’m not happy about the price increase, but I certainly understand it and can’t really blame anyone for it. Frankly, I’m surprised this didn’t happen many years ago.
Personally, I’ve been a patient gamer for a while - welcome! It’s great here.

Welcome to the PatientGamer™ club! Nobody can really claim to be starved of good games. Play a few year old acclaimed games then come back! Starfield will be baked (optimised and modded) to perfection.

I don't see any reason to pre-order a digital game with infinite supply, but at the same time you could always refund it if turns out terrible. Personally I'd wait awhile if not years before purchasing new games so I can get a feel for how they turned out. 2 hours is not really enough time to grasp a game like this. You would really only determine if it is incapable of running on your computer.
It's gonna be on gamepass there is 0 reason to preorder. People be tripping

To be fair, I haven't watched the new trailer yet, but I'd never pre-order a Bethesda game. I don't know if I'm even interested in it on release, might wait for mods etc.
I also feel like I remember some of the devs saying they "needed more time because they didn't want to be the next cyberpunk" which honestly doesn't feel like the devs have full faith in their own project? I don't know. Either way, I'm happy to wait and see.
I am looking forward to giving this a god... But after it releases and on discount. I can wait but hope everyone on day 1 enjoys it!
After getting burned by the Oblivion AI "trailer" I won't ever trust Bethesda advertising again. Straight lies.
Just because Diablo 4 isn't in this statistic :P
This makes me sad.
I really don’t understand the point of preordering a…. digital release…. The game will literally still be available whether one person buys it or one million…

speaking of space games, how's Everspace 2? I enjoyed the first one and I know the second is not the same at all, but I have an itch and perhaps Everspace 2 could scratch it

Pre-ordering is silly. Please stop.
