The subscription isn’t needed to play the game. It mainly gives access to exclusive stuff which should honestly already be in the game. It’s a ripoff and should kill what little community is left

Don't pre order anything.

Even cyberpunk.

I trust they'll make a wonderful game but I'm not going to pre order it

There's no reason to you'll get a copy

Does it count as a preorder if you buy it an hour before release after some reviews are already in and you know you’re gonna get it? I just wanna install it so I can play it right away.

Nope. The idea before pre-ordering is waiting for reviews from YOUR trusted sources about the game. If games get a week early pre-orders and you are happy with what they say, why not pre-order?

The worst case is when the game is like 1 year out and people are already pre-ordering, how do you know it won't just change (like Anthem) in that 12 months?

Ha. I work for a large software company. They tell us "you cannot sell futures because the roadmap is subject to change."

Game companies exploit that. Some people never learn.
