Beware of game pre-orders. (Redux)

Izumi Konata

Whoa! Check out this new game on Steam! The graphics are insane!

Izumi Konata

It's got everything I love - action, RPG elements, and cute characters!

Oyama Mahiro

Hold on, Konata. Doesn't this seem a bit... too good to be true?

Oyama Mahiro

Remember what happened with that last pre-order fiasco?

Izumi Konata

But look at those trailers! It's like anime come to life!

Izumi Konata

Why does Mahiro always have to be such a buzzkill? This game looks perfect!

Oyama Mahiro

Those are pre-rendered trailers, Konata. And look closely at the screenshots...

Oyama Mahiro

Some of these mechanics aren't even in the development version!

Izumi Konata

Aw man, you're right. There's not even a 'may not reflect final product' disclaimer...

Izumi Konata

But hey, modders can always fix it later, right?

Oyama Mahiro

Konata, no! Don't rely on modders to fix a broken game!

Oyama Mahiro

Let's find a game that's actually finished and worth your money.
