Yeah idk why anyone is still pre-ordering games.
Thank you for the reminder. I will promptly pay attention to it, and yet, have 0 impact on the world as this issue is a big numbers problem and we're the small numbers.
While following the advice of not pre-ordering games may not change or save the industry it can still save you a lot of money and time.

I recall pre-ordering EA's Battlefront back then. I only played it for 4 hours at most. Should have pirated it.
