Personally, I have this weird feeling that when you talk too much about anything that comes up especially when it's linked to your work, you lose value.
I have already purchased Horizon Forbidden West and it's been a great experience so far. I have the money for Elden Ring but I'm waiting for more update on it.
It's actually cheaper when you pre order. It's just probably because of not getting what you want that makes me stay away from doing it most of the time.
