General / Off-Topic Just Canceled My Pre-Order

Yes, the title is correct...but it doesn't tell the whole story!

Originally, I was debating between buying the game for PC or XBOX One. Being a simulation/management game, I know keyboard & mouse would be the best way to play. Unfortunately, my PC specs - as currently constructed - couldn't handle the game (PC is ~6 years old). Knowing that, my decision was made: pre-ordered for XBOX.

Fast forward about a month. My PC has been pretty much crapping the bed regularly. I've been toying with the idea of upgrading my PC for quite some time but didn't want to do it for the sheer fact of gaming but I am also a self-taught programmer and need my PC to work. Lately it has been freezing regularly and really hindering my ability to get work done.

This past weekend I cracked. I was fed up with all the freezing and stalling on my PC and ordered a new motherboard, processor, graphics card and DDR 4 RAM. It's costing me more money than I would have liked so I needed to recoup some cash elsewhere, leading me to cancel my pre-order on this game. With that said, I will now have the specs to play this game on the PC when I get around to it. It's a catch-22 but I feel that when I'm ready to buy this game for good, I'll get the best experience with it on a "like new" PC.

Hitting that cancel button left a bitter taste in my mouth but I know it will be for the best for now.

Its a UNIX system! I know this!
 
So sad it is the case...

Perhaps aiming for the physical disc edition (July)?

Please concentrate on building your PC, work hard, and hopefully we'll see you back here soon Mr.Dennis!

My dad was a UNIX engineer when this movie first came out. He hates that line. What Lex is looking at is Jurassic Park's proprietary GUI, which has nothing to do with UNIX, and there's nothing on the screen that would have told her it was UNIX based. :rolleyes:
