Honestly, if the idea of no trials don’t bother you, there are plenty more reminders why YOU shouldn’t preorder.

It used to make sense when games were on physical media as that can run out of stock on release. If you're downloading it then there's no point - unless you get a discount for a pre-order.

Yeah if the reason is low stock for physical media, I get it.
