My man, far more "hardcore gamers" than you or I have been talking about how the AAA preorder hype train is a scam for like 20 years now, even when the game turns out to be good It's a bad business model and if it weren't this wouldn't be a regular occurrencehttps://twitter.com/AdmiralOPG/status/1339389156561215489 …

Only when a physical good is involved.

Well yeah or another scarce/rivalrous resource, like a ticket to a physical event

Launch day for Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee. I didn’t have a switch yet but still.

There was a limited print run of a book I wanted where the limited run had a much better cover, but was only available in the pre-order.

it's a little too early to tell rn, but I have a theory that it's better to buy ULTRAKILL in early access when it's released an episode every couple months instead of trying to binge it all at once

but tbh that's besides the point; let hardcore fans be excited for shit so they can celebrate when it's a hit & bemoan when it's a dud that's the point of day-1 tech aficionados: to cut their teeth on new shit before it's refined for normies being cynical doesn't make you cool

the last thing i pre ordered was supreme commander, a game that barely worked on my, at the time, brand new, top of the line pc. been slightly bitter ever since.

that was immediately after medieval total war 2, a game that screeched you and crashed if you ever told a unit to do anything.

Not getting the collector's edition of the early WoW expansions. But all that's really done is make me think that that kind of artificial scarcity is bullshit.

Cattails’ Kickstarter. Admittedly I only found it a month ago and the game has been out a while. That said, it’s hardly AAA, and the only games I actively preordered in my life (Pokemon games aside) were niche or Indy, so I am unsure if that counts…?
