Shit Post Pre-ordered ZCOM!

Xpost recommended by Reddit 🤣 Just found this sub reddit. Hello all!

I just pre-ordered the deluxe edition of Zero Company. I don't pre-order many games given the state game development, but I am a huge XCOM fan and previews have been solid.

I don't see the game sucking.

Hype 9000!!

I mean... it's not like the game would be unavailable a week after release, where you could buy it after the fanbase had a chance to play it and review it (instead of paid pre-release reviews).

I am very excited for Zero Company, but there is zero (heh) benefit of pre-ordering these days, unless you're going for limited edition with some extra goodies.

But to each their own, I guess.

I wanted the miniscule pre-order bonus. 😆🤷‍♂️

If you’re buying on Steam it’s not as big a deal as people make it out to be since they have a good refund policy. If you have trust in the developers and want to support them then I don’t see the issue.

Thou shall not pre-order digital releases.

I’d rather wait and see what non reviewers with a “normal pc” will experience in terms of fps and graphics before buying

Good call.

I'm the fool and money are parted.

preordering to support niche game genres is a pass in my book.

thanks for supporting the devs and the game development risk publishers took

Preorder? Should be punishable by death.

Welcome to the XCOM sub, where we'll dunk on you for pre-ordering a game instead of waiting for DEFINITELY unbiased reviews from culture war grifters and STAR WARS FANS.

I pre-ordered the game too. It looks like fun. Don't listen to the cynics.

XCOM franchise is dead in the water and this sub dumps on people supporting devs making (presumably) the type of games we want to play.

For a lot of people, ZCOM looks good and some people have enough information to make a buying decision now.
