  • No. You don’t preorder it.

    The only reason why preordering was a thing to begin with was to secure last minute funding for small devs to buy the infrastructure they would need to support their game after release.

    Starfield is not made by a small dev studio. They have billions of dollars behind them and preordering will not impact the course of its release, nor will preordering ‘reward the developers’, as they are paid in fixed wages and have no financial stake in its success beyond maybe a tiny token bonus. (This is also why we consider Piracy justifiable for non-indie games. )

    There will be no material benefit for you to preorder vs buying once the game is released and public opinions on its state become available.

    P.S, you’re on Lemmygrad. You’re not going to get a different answer.





  • Nah, the US had already been engaging in global economic and militaristic imperialism for quite a while, including in the middle east.

    A 9/11-like retaliation incident was inevitable at that point, regardless of who was at the helm. You’d have to change atleast a few decades, if not a century or two of foreign policy to avoid this outcome.

    But yeah, fuck bush. Even if it was inevitable, he’s still responsible.
