Y’all I thought we agreed as a society to not preorder anymore?

I got the premium edition when I bought a new CPU and it came bundled, so I still have my Hardcore Gamer Badge.
…I also got Overwatch 2, but I’m not even going to bother redeeming that one.

Isn’t OW2 free?

Which makes it even worse

You’re right, just checked my emails and saw that the code is for “Overwatch 2 Invasion Ultimate Bundle”, which I guess is DLC or something. It was bundled with a Zotac 4090 on Amazon.

In my defense, I preordered it after it came out.

Same. I almost always hold on games until just after release, when the preorder is still up, so I can read user reactions and gameplay videos before buying but still get the crappy preorder rewards.

You didn’t have to pre-order it for early access.

I didn’t preorder, it’s free with Game Pass. Just not the early play.

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.
