Yep, I agree with your logic. It's normal for fans to get a pre-order date, even if it was just for a weekend or something. Well, Activision. Fans will buy it no matter what, so we can see how to screw them over even more. XD

I can't wait for the DLC for War Thunder 3. CDPRed could continue the same trend that the developers of the new AoE 2 versions started – creating awesome add-ons for old games that are still played by fans. Fans will happily pay, and the developers will easily hire a group of students, make the DLC for 15-25 bucks, and have fun.
