Pre -orders are used to provide very basic functions. Although I wanted a game, inventory is limited in local shops, so I can book a copy without a short circuit in the couple of midnight release. There is almost no throwing arm.
But due to the injury of digital shops and online shopping, pre -orders have become less important to players. Therefore, in order to make people still pay the full amount, the publishers tried to provide incentives with dark practices such as small calculations, bonus costumes or levels, and additional calls for advanced access. If you pay a little extra cost and pre -order, you can play two days early!
This also has a lot of mud muddy for what the initial approach actually means.
These days, pre -orders get a bad rap. Especially for decades, such as suicide squads, the server was downloaded for maintenance for almost the entire initial access period. Therefore, each pre -order is compensated to the developer for seeing Cyberpunk 2077, so you need to stop gamer's pre -order.
They have achieved practical and practical purposes, but what is the point now? Wait a bit and let others test water. then If you are okay, soak your toes. It is different from lack of inventory. But Hollow Knight: Silksong is not certain after yesterday's release.
The Cherry team announced the release date two weeks ago, maintained the price quietly, and allowed sales only at the time of launch. After seven years of expectation, the community was consistent and messed up with the silk post, and the gate was opened and almost all single stores crashed. Anyway, no one could buy it.
SILKSONG proves that a digital store needs pre -order.
Yesterday I accurately prove why pre -orders are still important. Of course, the digital storefront does not have a silk pine for sale, but it can be too much for a given time, and everyone around the page at one time cannot have a crowd at once. The pre -order is in a shade practice, but it is still the best way to solve this problem. The same problem as the physical store solved decades ago: If there is a lot of demand, you should prepare, not to open the door and do your best.
It is also worth mentioning that you can choose one or more shops in the era of physical pre -orders and midnight launches. Each system is now a closed ecosystem and the tension is much greater.
Pre -orders would have been greatly brightened by Silksong's load. Since there are no hundreds of thousands of people (but it's likely to reach hundreds of thousands of people), all of them try to make each other as a digital elbow on the way of catching a copy.
In addition, those who are excited at the time of launch have already loaded the game in advance to brighten the tension of the store and the download server. Instead, if everyone presses the 'Purchase' button at once, the platform bends, so the fan can wait longer. It puts a damper about what should be an exciting moment for fans who have been waiting for almost 10 years.
Pre -order is the evil you need. As long as gamers ask not to come in immediately without waiting, it doesn't happen. Most people will not wait until they block sales or pour out user reviews. They are swept away by firing fever and they want to play the game while everyone talks about it. And thanks to the pre -order, when the game is launched in the market, the store front is ready for the big inflow, and we are waiting for someone to sit down with the thumb.
See how fast people went in the 'No pre -order!' 'Day One Buy!'
Over 2 hours An attempt to use Steam yesterday says that there is an error with an annoying manga animal. I prefer it if it didn't happen every time a very anticipated game comes out. And it is okay if it means that we need pre -order. I will take all the GufF publishers that fill them up to connect the ugly bonus skins and people. Every time we are too enthusiastic, we are better than taking a needle -shaped slice hammer to the Internet.
