Hey everyone, I'm considering pre-ordering Cyberpunk 2077. I'm worried about the price staying around $30 after launch—should I buy it now or hold off until the holiday sale?
The only thing I can mention is how bizarre this pricing is. Everywhere else it’s $60, but GOG.com gives you perks better than Steam and others. Seeing Steam pre-order at -50% makes me think Valve is really concerned about missing out on sales given what GOG.com offers.
It's fine either way; you'll end up purchasing it. But mind—where are you located? The price seems high compared to what you're used to in Europe, where it's usually around 50 or 60.
You're considering a thoughtful approach. Since you haven't pre-ordered yet, you're enjoying the Cyberpunk atmosphere. You're planning to wait for reviews and updates, hoping for bug fixes or a discount, possibly during your holiday break. It's understandable that sales for new releases can be slow.
Consider preordering through GOG. It's a Steam rival managed by CDProjekt, packed with classic titles and completely DRM-free, so you can enjoy them anywhere.
