EDIT: Actually, the fact that they have to even say this tells me this is massive damage control for investors. Ubis stock dropped like a rock in the EU market the second the market opened after the trailer dropped.
To be fair, Hello Games did reclaim their honour some time ago already. NMS is amazing and they keep releasing new, meaningful updates for free. Their community loves them.
Still a great example on why not to preorder, the game needed years of more work to be in an acceptable state. Why waste your time and money when you could just hold off until the game is actually finished, or at least until you can confirm it’s actually worth the investment based on its quality to you.
Yeah idk why people would pay for a digital product before its release, it’s not like it will suddenly be unavailable after release, and they’ll have spent money on something they can’t own and enjoy yet

Did they expect zero preorders and got five?

Pre ordering a digital game just to eventually play it earlier? Okay if you have really hard confidence in the product and team
Pre ordering a fucking UBIOlSOFT game? Fucking gamers are fucking terrible.
A fool and their money are soon parted. These fools sooner than others

Hard agree, Ubisoft is trash and has been since they buried Rayman under rabbid shit
They also killed off Might and Magic: Duel of Champions right when the hype for card games started… That game was awesome.
