Quoting: Whitewolfe80Its a bit merky as here in the UK you have a legal right to refund if something is not of mercentable quality ie a game that doesnt work is not fit for purpose so under consumer rights act you can get a refund regardless of valve of game dev position on it.
I cannot imagine this would apply here. The "purpose" is running under Windows, the rest is your problem.

I was lucky to update in updating in early 2020. If I would sit on my old hardware now, I'd just keep on sitting on it. ;)

Quoting: GuestIn fairness, I have no doubt that these preorders are a limited run to gauge interests before they go into mass production
And they do the same trick for GPUs an PS5?

No, no matter how many they want to make, there's a supply problem.

I'm not following it closely, but I get the impression of maturing code that will be included sooner or later (sounds like sooner to me).
