    I’ll just add the tangent: imaging pre-ordering a digital-only release.

    “Pretty please, Take Two, can I give you my money in exchange for nothing at all of value?”

    What even is this world. What have they done to us.

      That you think strips of paper, or numbers on a screen have an equivalent value to your time and labor is not Sony’s fault…

      What if they run out of bytes because everyone is downloading at the same time? Preordering allows you to have your bytes to download already assigned., right?

      I like to imagine that this is the answer they give if you ask the reason to preorder a digital game several months ahead its launch.
