pre-purchasing is a bad thing
if a company want to develop a game, let it end and then support it by purchasing it
at this moment blizzard pick money from us and dont even trying to hold us.
they already have the money they wanted , no reason to try more…
when a company creates a game, its a gable to make it perfect so the community to buy it
if you know they already buy it, you dont need to make it perfect…
we learn a very good lesson from mother blizzard
thanks for the improvments blizzard !
You can prepurchase for the beta and still get a full refund. That’s already better than just waiting without having tried the game and blindly purchasing.
You know that the money are not going in the dev pocket right ?
Sorry but it’s a little stupid ans immature ti say “OMG they have our money so know they don’t did anything”.
What they had with the pre-order is very few. making a game can cost millions. To be profitable a game can asking for months or years, and the money earned most of the time is used to finance the employe during the developpement of a other game.
You really think a billion dollar revenue company isn’t capable of funding their own projects without customer pre-orders on a remake of an old game with most of the assets outsourced overseas?
The proof should be in the pudding. I don’t think pre-ordering is a very practical business model on the basis of what we see in these very forums - entitlement for a product that doesn’t exist. I have the same problem with Kickstarters and the like. A product should be sold on its own merit, not by its ability to create a flashy promo that is not reflective of the final result.
Add on top the lack of communication and the mixed messaging, I think allowing preorders makes Blizzard accountable. If it weren’t for that, I would give them much more flexibility for developing a game whichever way they want and releasing whatever product they so choose. But since people have paid for a product they expect from the promos, there’s an entitled crowd out there that can’t really be blamed for the current ‘bait and switch’.
We’re far too deep down the rabbit hole to expect the ‘perfect remaster/remake’. It’s gonna be what it’s gonna be, and the only thing I honestly believe people can do now is refund if they don’t feel the game is worth its price.
Another cry adult? First of all nobody told you to buy pre-purchase. You decide to buy it and now you complain cause game does not look like when they show it on Blizzcon. But I saw this video and I think the colors was almost same just because they stream it it has a bit different color when you play it in game. Saw it on many streams before. So for me I’m very glad for reforged and I DONT want any refund cause game looks really nice and I also cant wait for campaign. My fps is 60 all the time so after all I’m fine with beta so far. Maybe fixing neterror_default error should be fixed soon. Anyway Blizz break a leg and finger crossed for release a fine game !
