Unless anyone knows another reason for this impressive increase in comments? Seems to roughly coincide with Sync launching. If thats the case, just goes to show the importance of good third party apps.

EDIT: Looks like a confusingly labeled graph and I think this is total comments. I have no idea why that spike could exist though.
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.
