Imagine staying up late to place a pre-order for Starfield as soon as they went up only to find out months later that all the hard work you've put in has been wasted. This is the dilemma faced by several consumers right now after placing their pre-orders for the Constellation Edition of Starfield through Walmart, which, by the way, costs a whopping $300.
Over the past several days, fans have taken to various internet forums to report cancelations of their pre-orders, triggering a wave of unease amongst those who had reserved the collector's item in advance of the game's September release.
Starfield followers first started sounding alarm bells on Twitter and Reddit, sharing screenshots of their order histories from Walmart. These showed the total charge for their Constellation Edition pre-order dropped to an unexpected $0.00. Many of the same users received notifications that the retailer had refunded their purchase, only to discover that, in fact, their orders had been entirely canceled.
The sudden changes to the pre-orders have left the community stunned. Some are blaming the interactions with customer support as a potential reason. It's not unusual to come across a report of a customer receiving assurance that their pre-order is still active only to get a phone call a short while later informing them of the abrupt cancellation.
