    Pre-ordering games encourages publishers to release buggy, unoptimized, incomplete, garbage.

    And, since there’s no scarcity, the assurance you might get from pre-ordering physical goods doesn’t exist here.

    Please don’t do it.

      I have been saying this for years.

      If a games has is a particulary annoying preorder campaign I sometimes post a thread in their Steam community simple titled “Don’t preorder video games”. It always gets some interesting responses.

      I mean in this situation they’re saying outright that they’re going to release buggy unoptimized incomplete and maybe garage. So that’s just kinda getting what it says on the tin tbh
