    Buying a game post-launch:

    • Better prices; often on sale.
    • Fixed and patched up.
    • Extra content often included.
    • DRM often removed.

    No brainer, imo.

      Preordering games: I need this digital product before jt goes up in price or runs out of copies!

              Whoever came up with that deserves credit. Entirely lovely and harmless “superstition” as far as I can tell. No one is hoping for rain so they won’t be disappointed, but everyone has that line (“lucky it’s raining on your wedding day“ or whatever) ready just in case.

              I wonder if there are other white lie kinda pro-social quips like that

              It’s a free ride, but you already paid?

      Remember when games used to, at least sometimes… do actual internal beta testing to iron out performance bugs and such?

      Now we are all alpha and beta testers, all the time.

      Sometimes even AAA and ‘AAAA’ games release, and then unrelease before the alpha or beta is even done!

      Yeah, patient gaming for me, haven’t preordered or gone into an early access game in almost a decade now…
