Why are people preordering a DIGITAL, BETHESDA game?! It's still the Creation Engine (Creation Engine 2 so hopefully they fixed it!) so it's probably gonna be a buggy mess at release.

Why are people preordering a DIGITAL, BETHESDA game?! It’s still the Creation Engine (Creation Engine 2 so hopefully they fixed it!) so it’s probably gonna be a buggy mess at release.
Unlike many online gaming communities, there are many people in the world that enjoy playing video games. So, when they see a game that looks fun to play, they buy it or pre-order it.
I love how you imply people here don't enjoy playing videogames, when in reality we do, we just expect a 70 dollar product to fucking work.
What you're describing is called being a "consumer whore" and is the #1 reason unregulated capitalism will always lead to our demise. Consumers are morons and will willingly pay full price for some broken loot box addled bullshit because they didn't learn from the last fifteen times they got burned when preordering.
Buying is different to preordering.
I would not buy a broken mess. Why would I preorder it
I was going to buy it anyways, even if it's a mess. If I spend the money now, the game feels free later.
I actually haven't preordered it and might not, but this is how I felt about Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and Bethesda games are at the same tier for me. I have hundreds of hours in every game since Morrowind; I'll eventually get my money's worth.
If I spend the money now, the game feels free later.
"If I pay full price for a sub par product now, it feels like a free upgrade when they finally give me what they told me I'd get six months ago!"
Do you also punch yourself in the nutsack because when it feels so good when you stop?
Thanks for your concern, but I think I understand my own enjoyment of things and my financial situation better than an internet stranger.
Thanks for continuing to be a part of the problem with videogame development and the reason AAA gaming is a disaster 👍
They think it can go out of stock maybe ahahah
I mean jokes aside, usually preordering digital titles lets you preload most of the content several days before the release. If you don't have high speed internet, or have a restrictive daily cap - this can give you a leg up on a purchase you were going to day1 buy anyway.
Then on release it just activates your license and then you can spend most of release day playing the game versus waiting for it to download.
That's a good point, but they should discount the game also, imo
