Lately I’ve been seeing more virtue signaling from gamers warning each other to not pre order upcoming games. What are you 5 years old lol you need reminders from internet strangers to not spend your money on a series that burned you in the past?

I think my last preorder -- and one of the few in the past 10-15 years -- was Octopath Traveler 2, and that was only because it was discounted and I knew I was going to get it anyway since I'd just played the hell out of the first one before even finding out that there was a sequel about to drop. All in all, I'd say it worked out.

Civ VII, though? Not a fucking chance, given how much of a DLC-riddled shitshow Civ VI currently is. And never, ever, ever preorder an Ubisoft or Bethesda product. Everyone should have figured this out by now.

Your name reminds me; I think freeze-gamer ought to be constructively findommed because they clearly fucking suck with allocating their own money.
