I preordered because I like supporting Plaid Hat Games. I like their games and I want them to continue making good games for me to play.The discount -- which is about what you'd expect from an online discounter -- made it easier for me to do this. I doubt I'd have paid $75.00 for this game without having read a single review or rules or whatever.
The promos are nice but . . . well, it's two cards, you know? I'm sure they're going to be quite nice, but it's really not setting my world on fire. I'd have probably still done the direct preorder if there weren't any cards (as I did with, say, Dungeon Run).
As far as CSI getting the game in early . . . it seems like something I should care about but . . . well, who cares? I've never felt that other people being able to play the same game I'm looking forward to playing somehow devalues my own play experience. "Exclusivity" is the kind of thing I don't care about when I've got it, and which ticks me off when it's something I'd like to have.
So: I hope folks enjoy their games and I'm looking forward to playing Colby's next offering. Something about . . . Bioshock . . . ?
