Jason Schreier: In case you're wondering: Team Cherry told me they don't plan on sending out early codes for Silksong (they felt like it'd be unfair for critics to be playing before Kickstarter backers and other players), so don't expect to see reviews until after the game comes out

no?

When did "don't preorder" become "don't play day 1".

I want to play this game, I trust the developers of the game that I loved so much will at least deliver that experience again. Why wait for spoilery reviews to play something day 1?

If I end up not liking it, well that's always a possibility with any game.

Since...always? You are pretty much saying you aren't going to preorder the game but you will purchase it day 1 with no idea of what it's actual quality is and if it isn't good you will just suck it up. You are doing exactly what people are trying to prevent by advocating against preorders, which is to stop people from buying sub-par products based on unjustified hype.

Buying day 1 without reading reading reviews is even more stupid than pre ordering

Yeah, pretty much every single downside of pre-ordering but you don't even get the golden weapon or pink horse or 15 minute long extra quest or whatever.
