Middle-earth: Shadow of War appeared on the Xbox Store yesterday but it said “Coming Soon”. Then the game just disappeared. Well, it’s available for preorder now, a few hours later. The lesson in this story is that the Xbox Store makes no sense and for the first time ever Major Nelson beat us to a preorder announcement. That makes us sad.
