The money will come if the app is version 1.0 with all essential features. Not earlier. I do not like paying for stuff that is "promised". Linus from LTT mentioned it many times and I stand behind it.
Same with promised DLCs and early access.
You know what, you have a good point with that. I do that for other things too, so it only makes sense that it would still apply.
Bethesda' Fallout 76 is a prime example of why it can be a bad idea to preorder. I wasn't one of the people who did, but I remember that there was a pretty big outrage over what people ordered vs what they actually received. Before that happened, I was more naive and believed that some companies cared too much about their image to pull stunts like that. I don't think people even got the correct bag that was supposed to come with the game. Nylon will never be the same as canvas.
Just the last 5 years feel like a speedrun by every major company to go to absolute hell.
It's in v23.x currently. Not v0.23. Nor is it mentioned anywhere on the app store or in the app that it's still in beta and missing essential features.
