robertgg: What did people get from pre-ordering this game, a free copy of Lords of Xulima.
Game is now released and already there is a " Get a free copy of Lords of Xulima " Bonus out.
So what did those who pre-ordered the game get out of pre-ordering, basically nothing.
Another reason never to pre-order anything.
Shame on the Developer and GOG
I'm an old guy and here is how I remember Pre-Ordering games worked. You had a window before release to pre-order that ended a significant tme before the game came out. For instance, you couldn't pre-order it the day before it was to be released. You wouldn't get anything different than anyone else (probably because at that time, things like add-ons weren't prevalent.) You only got something special if you ordred a special edition of the game. What you did get for pre-ordering was a slightly lower price. From the way it worked, I figured it was a cash grab for the people working on the game that needed a boost in money before the game came out for what ever reason and decided a slightly less bottom line to get the money sooner was a good thing for them.

I was about to turn in, when I saw that in 2 hours, give or take, the game was going to be available to download. I started playing something else to pass the time and just now (an hour after it has been available) started downloading it. Sigh... which means people are probably level 3 or 4 by now. whimper ..... lol
