Companies 100% have a right to skip demos and sell pre-orders. And people have a right to boycott those.

For my old TV, the RED power LED is very helpful. Sometimes its on the wrong input, and very rarely something has gone wrong and I need to unplug-replug it in to fix the display. LED saves me clicking the power button when it's already on.
It's kind of big red dot, but not bright which I'm grateful for.
I remember not having any money to spend or a car to drive when I played adventure games, so I could relate :) And in 30 more years retail may be even more dead.
You're right, Reddit has a lot of established communities. But if you were going to start a new community? I think it's all downhill from here.
My Toyota touch-screen stopped responding to my touch after 11 years.
To be fair I've got shortcuts I reflexively use and clicked on Google links. It's like quitting smoking and visiting your relatives who smoke? IDK
I think nobody would start a new community on Reddit, just makes sense to build something new on a Lemmy instance 🔰
These things do cost time and money and the security code still needs to be written in blood, but it'll be fun.

That is pretty cool, but uhh maybe not user friendly. I entered "lemm.ee" and it says "Not a lemmy instance".
It would be cool if it could pre-enter the HTTP referrer, then typing might not even be needed.
I'm betting the Reddit posts will be there, but the people who were wrong usually delete there account within a year, in shame as they tend to be wrong about lots of other things. And yep I probably won't be there either.
There you are!!
Making a good demo before a game is released can take away developer time from getting useful work done before release. But after its been released, the time pressure should be off and they could do a nice demo for more marketing.
