A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Preordering online video games is such a rip off.

I go nuts on anyone preordering digital releases just to be outraged when it turns out the game sucks balls.

I usually pre-order PC games that come with a pre-order bonus on Steam because I can just refund it in two hours or playtime/2 weeks in library if it sucks. If it doesn't, well, I was going to buy it anyway. I know game prices are ridiculous now and I'm buying far less than I used to but being able to just refund it is a game-changer.
