The model that Multimorphic are using with their P3 system is brilliant - no money down just tegister your interest and you can backout if you don't like the final product - no questions asked. Gerry from Multimorphic posts regular updates, accepts feedback from players and even hosts hands on P3 / Lexy Lightspeed playtesting sessions you can attend. If everyone worked that way I don't think anyone would have any issues pre-ordering.
