Y'all I thought we agreed as a society to not preorder anymore?
I didn't pre order. I waited for review embargo to lift, then I bought it today.
This isn't "early access", this is Bethsda squeezing money out of game pass subscribers
I actually have no problem with this, I even almost like this.
If you want, you can spend extra cash to play it a few days earlier, otherwise you can wait and get it for "free". This drives sales, "forces" the most hardcore players to purchase the title, and ensures that gamepass players can enjoy first party titles on day one even in the future.
