[QUOTE="Someone2345, post: 9513018, member: 7047792"] I have to wonder how detrimental your MONTHS long trailing of items pre-launch is to the campaign in general. I was hugely excited by the mistborn/Cosmere rpg, and your own MM2... If they were available when I first found out about them, I likely would have ordered there and then! Instead, after a month? two months? of pre-adverts and occasionally wondering "has that launched yet?" by the time of the launch - I was well over the initial excitement. Looking at the various pledge levels - I was well placed to nope out off both of them. There weren't even any "early pledge" discounted rates available (you know, to "reward" my loyal excitement over the months of teasers) ... Instead, I had another month or two dwell over what ultimately could have been a hyped impulse buy. (The reason for not getting MM2, is that id like the [I]full[/I] A5e series in hardcover, currently only owning the pdfs... but having time to consider dropping $200, allows me to question my priorities more.) Anyway, just some random experience. I am certain if it was already available to pre order when I found out about it, I would have pledged... But the months long "coming soon" and constant daily emails, followed by no "early pledge" availablity, kinda turned my Wow into Meh. [/QUOTE]
