Crazy Bastards Upset at Being Depicted as Bad Guys

[StealthySkeptic]

I don't buy anything at release anymore. Not on PC. Any PC game will be on sale within a month.
If you pre-order well before a game is released yeah. If you get it just before its out it will be around £50. On PC they release at £40. They know PC players aren't dropping any more than that.

Its really bad for any electronics at all. A lot of the time our computer parts cost the same in £ as they do in $.. its ridiculous.

Pre-ordering to me seems like trolling for suckers. Seriously, what's the point when you have digital delivery?

I've paid full price for a game exactly once in the last 20 years (Skyrim... All the DLC too). Last years titles are new to me. . Bonus: you don't have to be on the ragged bleeding edge (or anywhere near it) with hardware.

I've heard you guys get boned on hardware pricing. With VAT, that's gotta hurt (unless it's included, then it hurts a little less).

The only item I ever preordered was the Blu-ray of 300: Rise of an Empire. Then I realized how dumb that was, canceled it, rented it, and then saw that the movie was terrible. I can't imagine doing this for a game, much less any AAA game where you know you're going to be dunking $60. And for what? Pre-order bonuses that are going to show up anyway (because people will complain about not getting content) in a Game of the Year Edition? And don't get me started on "collector's editions"! Throw in the artbook, soundtrack CD, making of documentary, commentaries, etc. then you can probably charge your $60-$80.
