"A pre-order is an order placed for an item which has not yet been released. The idea for pre-orders came when people found it hard to get popular items in stores due to their popularity. Companies were then given the idea to allow people to reserve their own personal copy, before the release, which has been a huge success. Pre-orders allow consumers to guarantee prompt delivery on release, manufacturers can gauge how much demand there will be and hence how large initial production runs should be, and sellers can be assured of minimum sales. Additionally, high pre-order rates can be used to generate publicity to further increase sales."
So in short, Pre-ordering does not mean you'll receive the key right away but you'll be one of the firsts to receive a key on Launch date (which is always subject to change depending on how soon we can get the keys in. Usually European launch dates. ) where as users that buy it might have to wait if it goes out of stock.
I've purchased 4 keys yesterday and did not have until now it is available and I received a message on Emily and I did not find keys dry validate my words this Emily (mr_nage@hotmail.com) And these are that I received . No keys are currently stored on our online system for this game. The admins have been notified of this, and will replenish the keys within 12 hours! You will be notified by email when the keys have been replenished and are ready for collection! If you are trying to collect a pre-order key for a game that has not been released yet, then you can expect Autokey to be replenished approximately 2 days before the release date of the game.
I waited one whole day and did not answer or reply on what to do and I love that I bargain with you.
