I’d go for that. I know 95% of the rest of the internet wouldn’t though.

I dunno about the Internet on the whole, but I think a pretty good percentage of the people on Forumwarz (drawn only from the people who are buying Episode 2 already) would go for that.

I don’t like this as a solution, though. While it would generate a little extra income in the short run, it would also breed resentment among the crowd, and bitter people are less likely to buy BP.

Whereas, if it’s first-come first-served (after pre-orders), people will have no one to be bitter at but other members of the community who were quicker on the draw than they are… which would increase pranks, and thus BP sales.

Most of all, giving first dibs to people who pre-order will encourage lots of people to pre-order… which means that instead of a short, mbumive income-dump at release time, Crotch Zombie will get the same amount over time (and starting sooner). Now, it’s none of my business how CZ spends the money they get (it’s okay to buy beers guys it’s for the good of the community), but more money early on *could* help improve the server situation before Episode 2 releases, making things go even easier.
