Preordering is dumb, preordering in 2023 when it's 50/50 whether any given PC port is going to be a total mess is dumb

Really depends on the platform I suppose. Steam does a good job at that. Xbox or 3rd party key sellers? Not as much.

For sure. Guess I'm saying I can't fault people too much for preordering on Steam for the preorder bonuses since they can refund if the PC version is horribly optimized or the game is bad. Not my strategy, but I understand it
