5 Reminders NOT to Pre-Order Games This Year ~ We used to demand trials before buying before, what happened? ~ Stop Pre ordering Games

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

In general I agree but the transparency level shown by the Cities Skylines 2 team has me rethinking this.

I agree but there is no benefit of preording the game. Wait the release date, buy it, try it for 2 hours, then refund it / keep it.

There is a pre-order bonus of a few unique buildings and an additional map. But no benefit to preorder 3 months before vs. 2 days before launch.

Pre-orders suck out of principle, but from what they’ve shown this is a pretty polished game.

There are benefits a lot of the time, don’t lie. What’s typical are exclusive cosmetics, closed beta access, and/or early release access.

Loosing the opportunity to refund the game to get a flashy skin and 2 days early access are a big NOP for me.
