The actual reason not to buy this game full price is that Bethesda has an official policy of not sending review copies out any more. Sucks that good developers are attached to an aggressively lovely publisher but welp.

Wasn't that policy enacted right before Dishonored 2 came out? Seemed like a cynical way of stopping anyone from seeing the major issues with the PC release.

It was enacted right before Skyrim SE came out and had that exact effect for both it and D2.

It's a lovely practice for consumers but you're not really at risk at getting a poo poo game with this since the developer is Arkane and they have a lot of good will built up (maybe not for PC ports tho) and the demo shows off quite a bit and unless the game immediately turns to poo poo after that it looks like it'll be great.

I'm not worried about getting a lovely game, but like you said, that is a really lovely practice and its not something that should be encouraged with preorders and pre-review purchases. Especially considering I'm buying PC and Dishonored 2's PC port did have issues.

If the first passcode isn't something similar to 0451, no buy.
