Even when pre-order ends, it only means that EA starts. We all know how EA goes from there.
All this Razbam anti-climax was enough to kill my hype and excitement for this module. Just like the Apache which is just getting into an acceptable state for me to this day, instead of buying yet something I won't use for a while, I think I'll just hold on to my wallet for a year or so, until I'm excited again about the F-15E and I know that it's in a good-very good state. I'll also make sure not to watch any of the youtube influencers early reviews because I know all too well how well they manage to hide all the bugs and missing stuffs.
All this Razbam anti-climax could very well had been avoided if only they had been transparent with the community from the start. Instead of hypeing for the the sake of hype based on rumors from social media, progress reports checked on an intended roadmap checklist and instead of this absurd "no release date given during pre-order", an estimated date would had been more respectful and transparent.
