Don't preorder, complain about the kernel level anti cheat.

Is anybody actually excited for new triple A games? I can't remember the last time I was. Maybe Space Marine 2? But even then, I was really worried about how they'd jam it full of microtransactions after charging £70 for the base game or some other bullshit.

I find it hard to believe people are genuinely excited in the more mainstream gaming space nowadays; I might be (am) being very very cynical but for a decade or more it's felt like these "big" games are increasingly anti-consumer.

Also the horrible commonality of game development studios and publisher higher-ups (and regular 9-5 employees) being implicated or found guilty of sex crimes. It's pretty concerning.

I genuinely could not care less, tbh. There’s not been anything I’ve found really groundbreaking in the genre for a very long time.

No. Pre-orders.
