    Never pre-order. Learned that long ago. Even games I have waited on for a long time, i’ll still wait. Starfield was most recent example of that.

    I think I will break the rule though for the factorio DLC, if they do a preorder.

      Just curious on what you think the benefit of pre-ordering a factorio dlc would be instead of buying after release?

        No real benefit. Guess I was trying to say that i trust factorio devs.

        Damn game has devoured years of my life…
