Hi there,
I wanted to run this idea by people to see if this is a possible solution to the lack of a preload for everyone who preordered a physical copy/the Collector’s Edition/plans on buying a retail copy upon release:
Since all of the above come with GOG codes anyway, could we — in order to be able to preload — purchase a digital copy on GOG, preload, refund the digital version and once we get our codes from the physical version, use our code to then get it back so to speak? That way we would have the game already downloaded and get it to play immediately like everyone else.
This topic matters a lot to me because where I live my Internet connection is fairly slow and given the ~70GB size would take me around 16 hours to download. And that’s assuming no loss of connection throughout which is another problem and unlikely for me. Being able to preload would therefore be a huge help and it would suck if despite purchasing the Collector’s Edition I would have a worse experience than everybody who didn’t and just bought it on Steam or Epic or whatever.
