    Pre order a game that cancelled it’s playtest a couple weeks ago due to most likely being behind schedule.

      So many people pre-ordered that they are bragging about it going “gold” before it even releases. I expect this is going to have some serious quality problems when it releases.

        That’s not what “going gold” means.

        It means that they’ve completed development and are prepping their final release CDs/builds.

        Functionally, it means development has stopped because the dev team has deemed it complete enough for physical release builds.

          Oh. I assumed it was like a record going gold.

      Uh oh I hadn’t heard that news. I’ve been looking forward to this game but maybe I should brace myself for a rocky launch.
