  So, I’m excited for this game, but after being burned one too many times on preorders, I’ve made it a personal policy to refuse to engage any sort of preorder.

    Hallelujah!

    If a few million more of us do this maybe the industry will improve…

  YES.

  Can’t wait to play this game, even if it means mere 20 minutes before going to sleep…

    I can’t tell if you’re a kid with a bedtime or you’re very cognizant of your sleep schedule.

    I might take the day off to play it, I took the day off for Distant Worlds 2 and had a blast. Self-care day. ;)

  Going gold this early seems like a good sign about the state of the game. I’m very excited about this game, but I’m definitely waiting for reviews before I decide if I want to buy it right away or wait.

    I really wouldn’t put much stock into it. Seems like a new buzzword everyone’s trying to use. Seems like they’re borrowing a term from gold images in the OS world.

    Really it just means that they have a version that runs and they’re going to push that out now, well they work on the first patch now. It being gold does not exclude it from a necessary day one patch.

      It’s not a new term. Going gold for a game is a term that I have heard since at least the early 2000s. I doubt it was new then, just probably when I first heard it.
