Well, I'll be damned. I didn't follow through with the preorder because Hypixel stated that they would make a Linux release at a later date.
Why do people still pre-order games before release? It's not like a physical object that will be sold out. Just wait until release and look if its good or bad.
Fear of missing out, I guess. And yeah, I agree. I'm glad I held off on the game. I'm not doing any more pre-orders, that's for sure.
In case of indie games to give the developer funding.
pre-order isn't in development phase usually. Isn't the Early Access the exact point of funding developers in development? Usually a game that is in pre-order is basically done.
If we can't play and test the game (like in Early Access), then I am still against pre-orders. Because just because its an indie developer does not mean players should fund a game they don't know will be good or bad. Just my opinion.
