Those are just lies and misinformation , mods can you take care of this?
Write it in google you can find the answer instantly , yes they do.

and a lot of games did preload . a few days before . 48 hours before mostly .

all the info is from asking google and getting endless results all saying the same thing .


I said for early access games.

From Grok:

In summary, while Steam does allow preloading for some games, the specifics for Early Access titles depend heavily on developer decisions, and typically, these games do not support preloading due to the potential issues with existing Early Access players.


Hmm...


??? that is only for ACTIVE early access games. Path of Exile 2 isnt even out yet, so theres no problem with an EXISTING player base... can you read?
I would just like it if the devs come out and let us know will there be or will there not be steam preload and why. If there is a valid reason, we won't complain. But as far as I can tell it just doesn't make sense. If other platforms are getting the preload then datamining shouldn't be the reason why steam isn't getting the preload. Then it would be reasonable to assume it's an issue with Steam but I don't see how that can be. :/

You can just download the standalone instead of having a mental breakdown on the forums. It's right up there at the top
that's nice, adding steam to the list would be really cool too

or how about they do the bare minimum and offer pre-load on steam? im not downloading another launcher simple as that. other platforms had pre-load for days already. theres literally no reason to not do it on steam, other games have done it before, even when launching into early access.

It's best for you to refound the game. If some preload can make you so angry I wonder how angry you will be when things will go wrong in game. It's not good for your health.

Lol, you guys.

Ok so Early Access doesnt have pre-load. GGG doesnt need pre-load. Preload is to encrypt content, so it can be downloaded and remain encrypted till release.

The content you get the the official launcher, isnt encrypted.

Hence, if GGG wants, they can just 'release' POE2 early access at the same time as they release the download on the official launcher.
