How do I cancel a pre-order of a game on here?

Is this pre order you are canceling for the Witcher 3?

And your reason as to why is because of the delay to May 2015?

If so I ask, why? And when the game does come out you shell out another 60 dollars at May?

EDIT: If its for Pillers of Eternity than my question is still valid

I demand to know why you're breaking up with me, and you're not leaving until I'm satisfied with the answer!

Go here, select the order in question or "not applicable", if it's nowhere to be found and preorder cancelation as the problem type, in addition to describing your wish to cancel your preorder below.

Thanks Gragar. Delays aren't inherently a bad thing in my eyes, I'm just weary of the game after much reading and watching. I'll just be seeing how the game looks after it's been released (or at least until closer to the release date) so I don't waste money.

You've been playing too much S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

I wish people would stop pre-ordering every AAA game half a year before its scheduled launch. It's just part of what ruins the entire industry.

Back in the old days, pre-orders were only done so you could reserve a box before your local store ran out of them. In addition, most games back then had demos so you could evaluate them and have a decent amount of info on what you're getting.

These days, most games have no demos, mainly because so many people will pre-order (for AAA games) or Kickstarter/buy alpha/beta access (for indie games). What does this mean?

--------------------

Suppose you're a big, famous AAA game developer group funded by a publisher. Announce a game early, aggressively market and drum up hype, announce pre-order option half a year in advance.
People swarm to pre-order, even if the pre-order is non-refundable. You are now rich, before you have even launched any working product. This actually puts the customers at your mercy. You are now free to chop content out of the base game and reserve it for expansions/DLC. You can slack off on quality and release the game completely broken and riddled with glitches, then fix it over the next few months. Or... you can make an announcement right before the scheduled release that "Sorry guys, we're delaying the release half a year".

But wait, it gets even better. Not enough people pre-ordering? Announce in-game advantages and exclusive content for pre-orders.

In the digital distribution age where there are no boxes to reserve and no shelves at brick-and-mortar stores to empty, there is absolutely no reason to pre-order. It's a toxic business practice that way too many people support.
-------------------------
Even indie development and Kickstarter isn't immune to bait-and-switch. Take a look at this:
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/frontier_have_decided_to_make_elite_dangerous_online_only

It looks like some Kickstarter-funded game deliberately advertised their product (falsely) as offline-capable and DRM-free. Later on it was found that they had actually been developing it as always-online, and there will be no offline mode. Obviously everyone who funded it is pissed off.

Nevermind the fact that so many people are willing to pay for unfinished alphas and betas of indie/Kickstarter games.

-------------------------

Pause to ponder:
-If a restaurant took pre-orders for food and then chopped out about half of the advertised meal and demanded that you pay extra for it as a side dish (expansion), they could be charged with willful false advertising.
-If a travel service company (bus line, cross-country railway, cruise ship, etc) sold tickets under a given set of terms and then abruptly changed them in a manner that completely screws over the customer and/or leaves the customer stranded, the travel service company could get sued and/or fined.
-In most countries, if you ordered a bundle of goods online and the manufacturer deliberately omits some of the goods from the package that it sends you, the manufacturer can be held liable for "failure to deliver legitimately purchased goods".

Why is the video game industry held to a (lower) double standard versus most other businesses? Why does the video game industry get special exemption from penalties when they release a broken product, push back agreed-upon launch dates, or otherwise break faith with the customers?

Personally I wish they take even more time to make the game more polished and hopefully make it more friendly with lower end spec hardware with this time they delay on the game.. I expect a 770 to 780 to max this thing out and nothing more Crossing fingers.

Like we all seen rushed games always come out like crap and with a lot of hardware problems and glitches and what not, Ubisoft lol

I agree. Making a game that can only run decent on powerful hardware is elitist and annoying.

a sign of inability to optimize, bad software engineering practices, lazy design/cutting corners.
