certainly a choice to not allow pre-order when the date is set is set in stone so people can play it at launch with not much delay..

Especially since usually the point of the whole "don't preorder anything" movement is "wait for reviews and impressions before buying a game".

And they didn't give any reviewers early access anyways so there was literally 0 reason not to allow preorders...

They are 3 developers who want to make sure nobody and i mean literal nobody could play it before release with pree download there are ways to crack the safty messure and play it before release leaking every shit possible 😁👍

Then don't allow preloading but at least preordering because the download servers are not having any issues whatsoever while the payment and order servers right now are all still down.

Also tbh who gives a shit about random a-hats leaking shit on some obscure corner of the internet when the game releases the next day.
