Mas parece que o próprio Jayme Stegmaier, dono da editora q tá fazendo o Charterstone, achou meio cedo a pré-venda. Tanto que o jogo ainda está em fase de produção.
O negócio é que o jogo já apareceu com preço de 70 dólares e a pré-venda tá de 50 dólares. O Feast for Odin tb comprei em pré-venda qdo pouco se sabia dele. O valor agora dele tá perto de 95 dólares e a pré-venda foi mais baixo que isso. E o jogo é mto bom, compensou.
Acho que pode ser arriscado, mas tendo a pensar que o jogo vai ser legal por causa do tema, da mecânica legacy em city building e pela editora.

"So, here's the deal: A few days ago I sent a note to distributors (like ACD; Miniature Market is not a distributor) asking them for upper-range estimates for the number of copies of Charterstone they'll want from the first print run. The purpose of this was to inform our production quantity--as Morten said, we haven't begun production yet. Because we're not using Kickstarter, I just want to ensure that we make enough copies so the distributors (and retailers, and consumers) are happy, as they've been frustrated that our supply of Scythe hasn't kept up with demand.
Many of those distributors took that information and shared it with retailers to improve their estimates. This is where things got a little shaky, because it seems like some retailers interpreted this information as, "Hey, we have an MSRP and a SKU--let's start accepting pre-orders!"
As I noted on Facebook, I certainly don't want to encourage anyone to support this practice. Charterstone hasn't entered production yet, so there are aspects of it that are still in flux (especially the release date, which I estimated to distributors as Q3/Q4 2017). Retailers are taking a gamble by accepting pre-orders for a product with some uncertainty--like I said, we're just gathering estimates, so these retailers don't even know if they're going to receive as many copies as they want.
I can't really stop a retailer from accepting pre-orders for a product, even a hypothetical product. The risk and fallout is theirs to deal with if things go array.
This is new territory for me, so I'm open to your thoughts about this. Keep in mind that it's not just MM--I'm aware of a few other retailers who are already accepting pre-orders, and there might be many more I don't know about. I almost feel like I should make sure all retailers on our list have the information about the game to level the playing field (remember, I only told distributors, and I don't know which retailers those distributors reached out to).
Thoughts?"
