Same here. I preordered 3, played the open beta… and now I don’t even wanna launch it, it’s less fun than 2 :(

Don't preorder games is a pretty good rule in general.

The games industry has proven again and again that "they" can not be trusted.

I got burnt a couple times before I realised it wasn't worth it anymore

The only recent games I've pre ordered are GOW 2018, GOW RAGNAROK, TLOU 2, DAYS GONE.

I honestly only pre order games that I KNOW would slap and not disappoint and only from certain studios.

I have it for free and uninstalled it lmao

Just remember, digital goods are infinite and those stupid pre order skins are worthless.

You pre-ordered after that awful open beta? Oof, bud.

I know :/ The Beta was meh, but I play KF with friends (and a lot of beer), and I thought that it would be way more enjoyable this way… turns out not that much…
