I'll pre-order anything Arkane or Obsidian make and I don't give the slightest shit what anyone thinks of that, tbh.

Why?
Vivian on 4/11/2016 at 02:59
Seriously, why? There is so much to lose and so little to gain.
Jason Moyer on 4/11/2016 at 02:59
Because both companies have a perfect track record when it comes to making games I like. I have no problem rewarding them for that.
Vivian on 4/11/2016 at 03:01
You are not rewarding them.
Vivian on 4/11/2016 at 03:03
I mean, you are, but you are literally saying they can do whatever they like and you will buy it. Which means what?
Jason Moyer on 4/11/2016 at 03:05
Until they put out something that I don't like. At which point they get put on the "will probably buy near release time, but I'll wait and see" list.

I mean, imagine an obsidian writer pitching something at you. Preordering it is exactly equivalent to saying YEAH YEAH WHATEVER, I DON'T CARE WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS, I AM BUYING IT. It is not an evaluated purchase. It is meaningless. OK, but you supported the thing that you did not like in that case, because you couldn't wait two or three days to see what the fuck it was you were buying. Seriously.
(NB Doom is a rad (seriously rad) $20 purchase if anyones bothering btw. No story at all, but inspired bouncy stuff. Anyone who preordered it because they liked the new wolfenstein is still a prick.)

I fail to see the difference between buying whatever they do and patronizing any other artists I like.
Edit: And of course, there are possible exceptions to the rule. I have no interest in Obsidian's tank MMO or their mobile card collecting nonsense. But if they're putting out a single player RPG in basically any sub-genre, I'll be there with cash out waiting.

Yes you do.
