My guess is that it's not a game release, but an early access release.ofca wrote:Why isn't there a pre-purchase option on steam?
Normally, on a pre-release, there is a small cut on the price.
Since it's an early-access, there is already a cut on the futur normal price. Therefor, there is no logic to add a "pre-release" cut on the already cutted priced.
I suppose the devs where given the possibility to release the store page before the real date, so we can add our steamkey already and maybe not break the system when everybody waits for the exacts time.
