I placed a pre-order for Guild Wars 2 and won't do it again. I enjoyed the "Beta Weekends" too.
The idea of pre-ordering is completely unreasonable. People shouldn't commit their money to something that hasn't been released or tested. Back in the 90s, shops would sell out quickly, so waiting weeks was common. Now with digital releases, I can wait for reviews and early access before deciding. I can still purchase it on launch day if I want, getting instant access. Some may face risks like server issues, bugs, or poor quality, especially with limited supply. Ordering something with an infinite supply is just foolish. Pre-ordering a product with only a small quantity available is completely reasonable.
Some things you can't just order online, and that's okay. Not every request needs to be digital.
in pc gaming it usually comes with a lot of risk, and in other situations it remains mostly unnecessary. People should be less likely to do it; it shouldn’t be as typical as it is. For example, when there’s hype around a new game like Call of Duty, people often wait for pre-orders, but the release usually happens on the same day at the same price.
It’s definitely a fair word, though my main concern is how some folks act without thinking. They’ll just say “omg did you see the trailer I’m going to give the developer £60 without checking any reviews or testing” and then get upset when they realize it’s not good. If you buy a game blindly, you lose any chance to voice your opinion when it turns out to be bad. That’s the risk you took by pre-ordering. Sure, there are cases like @DemonicSpud where copying isn’t easy, but with longer series, the odds of it being terrible drop. Still, think about it—your money is on the line, and a pre-order means you’re taking that gamble. Most people don’t see it that way.
I mostly meet the criteria except for the CPU, which is an FX 8320.
