So like I recent;y stumbled across some youtube video about some overly ambitious crowd funded MMO project that ended up being cancelled after the Devs raised over $7 million from backers.
It was like a mega scam and by the time they released a playable pre alpha demo it was nothing even near to what the pre rendered advertisement stuff showed.
And also 2 weeks before shutting it down, they sold a load of fake in game land for up to $1300+ .
I feel like that Jinxed my entire perspective of pre ordering, but here at least we have a solid playable demo and previous great RPGs from the same developers.
Or in a few days time, Larian will post that this game is now cancelled and run with the money ...
There isn't a snowball's chance in hell of Larian crapping on its customers - zero.
