@SithMetal71BF2042 was my last buy at all, I preordered and got scammed badly, first 3 months it didn't work at all due to technical issues, features were missing, stuff got patched almost 2 years later in that was so native for any bf.... and I already had some bias from existing games from this vendor before , as they felt incomplete and just like a quick money-grab , but said "hey let's give it a final last try" ... well.
As certain features were cut out instead of beeing fixed, things were abandoned and the support feels like it's just on "make-it-look-alive-as-long-as-it-gets-sold" I can't see it getting better at all
My perspective goes back to the original title, 1942 and every game released since. BF is my go-to FPS and I've always pre-ordered because there was always a modicum of trust that the next iteration would continue the franchise, even with all the changes along the way.
2042 however was the final straw for me, which started with BFV.
I pre-ordered, played the beta where everyone complained and all the influencers said to wait for release, the release will fix everything and that didn't happen, somehow the release was actually worse than the beta.
I played for a couple of weeks after release and didn't play again for 6 months later.
So, NO, I won't pre-order knowing that I can get the game for a fraction of the cost 6 months later.
Which means my expectation is that the game will be bad, and I'll pick it up 6 months after release.
