No exceptions. No matter the company or hype, this needs to include...

The problem you have here is "but Cyberpunk 2077". Don't preorder anything and buy games months after release, the end.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
It's amazing that they can't see how hypocritical they're being

"By this I don't really mean CD Project Red and Cyberpunk 2077" ....so, pretty much defeating the true point of this gif.

No Fucking Fighting!

*starts to assault waiter*
NoFather
Millions have already been made pre-ordering games that aren't going to be out for a year, imgur isn't going to change the world.
heyletsbefriends
CDPR included, you idiots. NO FUCKIN PRE-ORDERS!
Bathroomboy
I do what I want! And that is to not preorder.
Hybris51129
Honestly even though I hold CD Projekt in high regards I'm not going to pre order.
Dukedarkflame
I still stand by “don’t pre order no matter what, even if the game looks promising or you trust the company”... but it’s not my...
... money, so do what you want ya’ll. Personally, I’ve pre ordered D2 Shadowkeep, but that’s ‘cause I expect the game to be shit.
idontliketheclonebone
At this point I'm willing to give my left nut to CD Project Red for cyberpunk. Everything else is getting the wait and see approach
Gonnaderpya
Don't fuckin preorder
PhilTheFluffiestDogOnTheInternet
I won't preorder but I might pick up doom eternal day 2
spookytwigg
The hype train has been running wild over me since I first heard about it (while I was running a cyberpunk 2020 game) about 6 years ago.
HsuDoNihm
I'm not telling you not to. I *am* telling you to wait until the game's out.
PCGamingKurshuk
sorry, already pre-ordered it...
CredibleInformant
Fuck EA and everything they stand for. Not buying their cute kid with a lollipop routine for fallen order. Fuck. E. A.
itsChuckles
oh man i didnt know i wasnt allowed to spend my money the way i want. ff7R is gettin preordered so hard.
KeepTheEarthBelowMyFeet
Circle jerk time, boys.
FudgeWeasel
The more 'free' shit you are offered, the worse the game will be. Never pre-order - & never buy anything from EA and Epic, pre-order or not.
Lucky1130
no pre order means no pre order.....you cant exclude 1 game because you think you have "high hopes" for it. its going to be the same.
Semiton
Only pre order games that no matter what u want to try for ur self regardless of reviews.
Sumpte
Just buy them at release. There's literally no reason to pre-order.
NoneMorePale
But... Elden Ring....
Hyero
Fromsoft has a pretty good track record, but I won't preorder until we actually see the game. All we got was a cinematic.
Oh I agree
Idontlikeolives
It's your money. Spend it how you want.
JohnSnot
I don't get why preorder anything - cyberpunk was announced back in 2012 so it can't be so hard to wait a week more to see some reviews
Seenji
What's this gif from?
Silence258
A British show called Peaky Blinders. https://youtu.be/8C-aMWj_McA

sickboysimon
Peaky Blinders. It’s a great show on Netflix. Highly recommend.
chylde
I'm not even going to preorder Cyberpunk as much as I want it and trust CD Projekt Red
atrevelyan
Or let people spend money on what they want to spend money on.
Rox2
NO. GROUPTHINK GOOD.
TheAsterite
I preordered every EA game
justsomeoneonimgur
EMTMarv
All the Idiots forgot to boycott EA and gave in because of Star Wars... EA will never learn and fuck this up too!
Seaw0lfe
*sweats furiously while looking at Fallen Order* is the boycott over yet?
thehumanoidsarecoming
And you know what? Opening release of games have been a lot better without your types flooding them. Keep up the good work.
FightOligarchy
DO NOT preorder. CP77 is the most excited I’ve been about a game in a long time, but you’re perpetuating a market standard when you preorder
I'm preording just to spite you.
tomtomson
Congratulations, you're a tool.
Congratulations. You’re a dumbass if your took this seriously lol.
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
With 99% of games I’d agree but at this point I trust CD Project Red enough to preorder if I damn well feel like it. Prolly won’t but still
Trust but verify. Please wait, preordering positively reinforces the concept that you can be rewarded for something you haven’t achieved yet
AnusReadyToBeRavaged
I think CD Project Red have earn the trust of the community... EA on the other hand, best waiting on reviews.
MaxZimuss
In the extremely rare cases such as CD Project Red, I always preorder. I like to support great developers that earn my trust.
cowabungajunkie
Yeah, only ones charging $30 dollars for full game length dlc/expansion. Hats off to them for not selling out like Bungie
Mobius550
I actually very much agree with you but I'm interested in how that will change now that they are out from Activision's heel.
I read they were going free to play so let’s see how that goes
futureman3000
So your message is: Don't fucking pre-order! (unless it's a game you want & are excited for) How about this: fuck off, I'll do what I want.
RageSteam
yeah its my money a work for it
[deleted]
The mindset of maybe I'll choose for myself what I spend my money on without this bandwagon-hopping, manipulative "DoNt pREorDeR" bullshit?
You and your ilk present the choice to preorder as "Don't preorder or you're ruining gaming." It's obnoxious and unecessary.
TheLannistersSendALovelyFruitBasket
It astonishes me that the people who screech about hype and pre-orders are the ones mainlining the Cyberpunk hype
Voidkom69
difference is CDPR doesn't exsist purely on hype to sell pre orders.
Justinicus
Mitigating factor: CD Projekt has a very good track record. And I'm saying that as a Bethesda fanboy.
Dracon27
Really. The people who keep complaining are the first in line. Pre-order and buy on release day are essentially the same.
Lethous
I remember this level of hype for no mans sky. No game is incapable of disappointment.
bab73
Because cdprojekt always had a good policy towards players. People trust them. Its not the case of EA or Ubi or Bethesda for example.
TheDudeanator
Hype it, but just don't pre order it
JokeDestroyer
Difference between getting excited for something and pre-ordering. I can get hype for Cyberpunk, but I'm waiting for some fucking reviews.
Baromian
I feel like we should support companies who historically have embraced consumer friendly practices.
srslysterling
Let's just never be joyful about anything at all. That seems like the solution.
"Hype is the first step on the road to disappointment.Know when to exercise restraint" "never been hyped up for a game like this in my life"
Being hyped up is e m o t i o n a l. Being cautonary is how you make d e c i s i o n s. Both can coexist.
Less points for bad grammar.
Redbulloth
"Don't ever do it, ever! Except the one(s) I personally like!"
AIterdcarbon
It's not about the game, it's about the company. CDPR has consistently delivered good games, great free dlc amazing customer service etc
ABonkeysManana
Still, don't pre order. I love CDPR, but they don't get exempt from the rule.
While Bethesda can't even send out canvas bags
SomethingsShadow
Francis is still waiting for his.
spectheintro
To be fair, CDPR is an independent studio who has repeatedly taken the high road with game quality and distribution. They are not at (1/2)
the mercy of publishers, and they have consistently demonstrated that they care more about quality than making a quick buck. You can (2/3)
CDPR a publisher...
Yes, but they're also a developer, and to date their business practices have sharply differed from other large Western publishers.
still choose not to pre-order, and that's fine, but there's an enormous gulf between EA/Activision and CDPR. (3)
GodsFoot
Plus we have seen actual gameplay. Not just a two minute clip and we will see more in August
Thank you
numbonvalium
CDPR is very open and straight with their customers, add in their pro-consumer practices... wont pre-order, but understand those who will.
MostIndeedlySo
Good or bad, don't give zero interest loans to big companies. It encourages them to gate content behind pre-orders more and more.
The problem is that they're being so blatantly hypocritical. "Don't be hyped for your game, but being hyped for my game is fine!"
SunBrolem
No one is saying don't be hyped. They are saying don't preorder. You can be excited and not preorder at the same time.
Armored0Titan0
There’s nothing wrong with being hyped, just don’t pre-order.
decoycatfish
If they don't keep trying to apply the no pre-order thing as a blanket statement, it wouldn't be so hypocritical.
AsheLake
It should be a blanket statement, though. No exceptions.
No, they're just saying don't pre order from companies like EA or Bethesda.
If you read the comments you'd know that's not what they're saying.
TheDizzyToast
Ill pre order the games I want to play. I don't listen to reviews that much because it's just their opinion and I have my own
Nothing wrong about making an informed decision. Often its not just an opinion,they contain facts. i.e game runs like a bag of turd blossoms
Captin0bvious
I think its less a matter of waiting for reviews. More about not getting what was promised.
Only one I can think of is probably watchdogs where they promised the world of hacking and it was kinda boring I do see your point though
The "no pre-order" mentality stems from a long line of games not living up to the hype. Spore, Aliens CM, No Man's Sky, just to name a few.
mikeatike
With review embargos there won't be any reviews until after they have the preorder cash in their pockets.
