After reading the 1st sentence your head will explode lol.. I pre-order games all the time but they're games I have faith that will be good like Sony exclusives, rockstar games, remasters, remakes and so on. you won't see me preordering a Ubisoft or EA game lol

These stupid spam articles.

I will never pre order a game... Why, because I'm not stupid. I wait and see if the game i want is a buggy mess, if it isn't i will buy (which is hardly ever nowadays) if it is i will wait a year and buy it at a fraction of the price for a more finished and better experience. Unless it's something Ubisoft have made, if its a mess chances are it will never get fixed.

Not what that word means, bro.

I continue to pre-order less and less games. There is no real incentive anymore.

You buy for day one. $60 for the base version $99 for a season pass version, and then in a month they discount it and you wasted your money.

A week before release I do.

I think the last games I pre-ordered were Witcher 2 and Witcher 3 but I knew for sure these were going to be games I would enjoy. I don't think I am missing out on anything but occasionally getting burnt by not pre-ordering games. Most pre-order incentives these days are lame.

Don't do it wait for streams wait for the hidden dlc surprises.

I've been pre-ordering and buying much less this generation.
As season passes continue to become more prevalent, as games continue to release incomplete, as microtransactions continue to spread cancer among the industry, I have become more and more disillusioned with the industry and many (but not all) publishing studios.
Many publishing studios are trying to scam you out of as much money as possible while offering the lowest quality game they can shove out the door without causing controversy.
Its deplorable, and I've been focusing a lot of my time playing older games on classic consoles. Very few modern games are actually exciting or interesting, no matter how 'epic' the trailer may be, or how pretty the graphics are.

I never really pre order games I always wait a bit cus sometimes price lower after release and also to make sure is any good before I buy or rather spend on a other game ^^, learned from past mistakes lol.
