Anything else I may rent for try&buy.

Plus it saves me 2-3 minutes of buying it, when it releases I can just hit the install button 😛 Though I'm actually not going to be home when it releases so that's a moot point. Actually wait, the Steam mobile app supports remote installation. Edited November 11, 20241 yr by Tuskin38

November 11, 20241 yr If one is confident that they're going to purchase a game, there's zero drawback in pre-ordering. At times there are advantages, but Microsoft decided not to take advantage of the FOMO (something Jorg said explicitly during the presentation in Arizona) people have too much, so they made the pre-order bonus something small. So yeah, no drawbacks and a small advantage not many will likely care about too much. I'm not sure why the "preorder vs don't preorder" discussion even exists. Some people simply want to press the "buy" button earlier. Some don't. That's all there's to it. Editor-in-Chief at SimulationDaily.com
November 11, 20241 yr I really like the Steam refund policy. Money back, no questions asked, if you're within 2 weeks of purchase date and have played the game less than 2 hours. I have used it many times and it's always quick and painless. Unlike Flight1's refund policy. I was suddenly denied a refund, as I "had used the service too many times... " 😕 Now they have discontinued it altogether, since they have "experienced, that customers 'took advantage' of it too much". Sad... I'm never buying anything from Fligth1 again...

November 11, 20241 yr Author One advantage to waiting is all the Youtube videos that will be published. You can see if there are any big complaints about certain aircraft. Or maybe even more serious complaints. Youtube publishers rush to hurry out their monetized reviews so there should be many on day one or two. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
