Gamers rarely gain knowledge... Ubisoft pre-orders
Gamers rarely gain knowledge... Ubisoft pre-orders
Found a cool piece on DSOG about the current hot titles from Ubisoft. These games aren’t yet available on PC, which is why ports often turn out disappointing. People still stick to older releases even when new ones come out, expecting them to be perfect. It’s frustrating seeing companies push such poor business practices while fans keep waiting.
Rainbow Six isn't a bad port—it's an amazing game. I've spent around 160 hours playing it.
It appears even among everyone I’ve met—friends, streamers, YouTubers, and gaming writers—the ones who never preorder remain an incredibly tiny group. More people are created each second than realize they’re being tricked.
History shows that weak game launches often affected pre-orders and sales of upcoming titles. Ubisoft mentioned that Assassin's Creed Syndicate's performance was impacted by Unity's reputation, which likely contributed to the extended development for the next installment. EA isn't the only company facing criticism over PC port issues, as they've also addressed similar concerns. Infinity Ward has responded to PC players' complaints about their ports, and there are additional instances in the gaming world.

The sole purpose of my preorder is to stir excitement among people.
It’s important to consider whether your support aligns with your values. Preordering can help artists and creators, but it also means you’re funding specific projects or individuals you believe in. Ask yourself if this decision matches what you want to back and whether it feels right for you.
You assess their worth before you can truly evaluate their work. If you wish to back them, do so, but wait until their release to make your decision. As a buyer, you hold the ability to judge quality and choose wisely. Purchasing beforehand lets the seller control the narrative, relying solely on their promotional content. This position is advantageous for businesses yet unfair to others. Remember, buying a game isn't just funding a developer—it's endorsing a business approach toward gamers.
FC Primal is definitely a solid choice. It looks good and performs smoothly even on high settings. I plan to pre-order whenever it meets my criteria, but I’ll stick to discounted prices—never pay full price. Here’s what matters most: it needs to be at least 30% off, the console version should run smoothly, the developer has a track record of quality PC ports, and I’m genuinely interested in the game. I’ve only placed a few pre-orders so far, so I’ll be cautious and make sure I have enough info before committing.
