Pre-Orders

Pre-orders allow you to sell the game before the official release. Users who purchase a pre-order will get a receipt emailed to them. Users get access to the game when it’s released. They get an activation key or a distribution link for downloading the game, or both depending on the settings in Publisher Account.
