Remember everyone we’ve been fooled before, even if the game did turn out good after a few patches we shouldn’t encourage that kind of behaviour from studios.

To add to this:

The only thing you’re getting by pre-ordering is a car. If you’re paying the game normally, you’ll end up with a plethora of cars and bikes already, so you’re not really missing out on anything special. (which, tbh, is decent on CDPR for not banking on huge FOMO)

You can always wait for the release and look up reviews and (more importantly) first hand player experiences on here/reddit/youtube/wherever you consume gaming media, to avoid spending money on a potentially subpar product.

Just a disclaimer: I’m also very much hyped for the DLC, and plan on getting it day one (if all goes well), but I’ll wait for reviews and impressions first. :)

Why though?

I understand the feeling, but in my opinion, if I really like a game and want to preorder it, I will.
We’re still able to request a refund if the game is shit (on Steam, for example). Why not do that instead?

I thoroughly enjoyed cyberpunk 2077 from day one. I don’t care what state others think it’s in. Reviews don’t matter. The only thing I can trust is how I feel about it.

I already pre-ordered it and will play it at launch regardless of what others say about it. Stop trying to force people to not pre-order. If you want to wait, then wait; someone else playing it early doesn’t cost you money.
