Not only preordering, spending almost 50% more on the game just to play it 5 days early. The fuck is wrong with people, no wonder the industry got like it is.

What does this thread have to do with pre-ordering?

Did you actually read the original post?

The original post is incorrect, you didn’t have to pre-order to play early. I bought my copy after reviews dropped.

Good to know, but irrelevant to the point I was making. I wasn't saying fuck preordering this game. But rather, fuck preordering as a practice.

All it does is incentivize developers to release incomplete games.
