      Fair enough generally speaking but I have never been burned by insomniac. So I did preorder this one so I can preload and play day one

            The embargo is to stop people from deciding not to buy based on bad reviews. If they were confident of good reviews, there would be no need. It’s also a method of control over the reviewers.

            There is no reason for a review embargo except to try to sell bad games. Not all games with an embargo are bad, but that is just hedging their bets.

      Fair logic for most developers however I’d say where the Spider-Man games are concerned, Insomniac have earned my trust. Loved both the Spider-Man games and got my full moneys worth from them so I had zero hesitation when preordering lol

        Trust should go both ways. They have review embargoes. They could allow pre download before purchase, with a small demo, but they choose not to.
