OOTP Pre-release - Next Year put a link here to the new game

Leefoo · 03-19-2016, 10:17 AM

So that those of us who didn't get an email from the company, can come on here with their order number and download it.

Meanwhile we sit here and wait and hope that they decided to work on a Saturday and answer our emails.

I'm not expecting anything now until Monday? Who knows??

Yeh, I saved $5 by pre-ordering, but I'd pay it right now for the link.

Now, I don't work for OOTP, but I think the reason why they don't post the links is because getting it early is supposed to be a benefit for preordering and if someone orders it today for example, having the link posted would allow them to also play the game today.

But again, I don't speak for OOTP when I say that. Just my belief.

This. Posting the link would allow anyone and everyone to download it.

But without a code that they purchased already how would they play it?

Because once you purchase it, you get a code.

Send me a private message and include your order ID or serial number and I'll send you the links.

Geez 'foo, I understand the impatience and frustration, but there's a process. old timer will, no doubt, get your problem addressed. He might as well be named Old Reliable. Just remember you don't ask the city to revamp their entire waste collection program just because they missed your recycle bin one week. Relax.

Please.

And only the pre-order codes would work.

Any orders after mar 17, or whichever date, could not be allowed to run the pre release.

Sounds simple to me, but it may not be that simple.

It's not. Everyone could still buy the game via the in-game purchase option. And since we want it to be exclusive to pre-order customers, we don't give out the links.

However, since we would like to release another beta tomorrow, we'll probably have those links public after all.

Like I said...it sounds simple to me...but for some reason I knew it wouldn't be simple.
