    Despite their issues I put hundreds of hours into each one and enjoyed them all. I see no reason to think this won’t be the same, and have no problem betting $70 on it.

    Really the issue here is that there are very few reasons to hand a company your money before they are prepared to deliver you a product. There are even fewer reasons when the product is most likely going to be purchased and delivered digitally, since there is zero chance the product will be sold out. When a game is being developed by Microsoft-owned Bethesda, they don’t need preorder money to finish the game.

      But I see no reason not to hand the money over since I’ve already made up my mind to buy the product. If they don’t deliver the product, then I should get a refund. If they deliver a product so terrible I regret buying it, well, that’s on me and I won’t be so quick to do it again. But based on past history I have faith the game will be a little rough but I will still enjoy it, so why not spend the money now?

        You shouldn’t spend the money now because normalizing payment to a corporation worth $2.47 trillion for future services rendered is a terrible thing to do.
