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

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

I made a flow chart for this ages ago…

Will it be legitimately hard to find? (Think Steel Battalion on Xbox.) No? Do not pre-order.

Do you get anything for pre-ordering? No? Do not pre-order.

Cosmetics only? Yes? Do not pre-order.

Is it from a developer with an established track record? No? Do not pre-order.

Is that established track record full of buggy launches (Bethesda)? Yes? Do not pre-order.

Online only? Yes? Do not pre-order.

Fail at the first step. Both are being produced in the millions, not hard to find.

To be fair I wait until after release to pick-up titles, will get FFXVI this weekend. Such a small cost, the risk is fine vs people spending thousands on other hobbies.
