Origin does not charge during preorder purchases and waits until the game is released before applying charges.

Yes, that's correct. It informs you just before you complete the purchase.

It requires a fee when placing pre-orders during checkout.

They likely bill during checkout but collect payment once the game becomes available, especially since your card statement was due in November for Dragon Age.

Delaying payment until the game becomes available undermines the goal of encouraging early pre-orders. They aim to build excitement by getting fans invested right away.

Gamestop operates differently across platforms. For many physical locations, ordering is like joining a line to secure the first access to games. Payment happens only when you receive the product. Online stores function more like a digital queue where you can preorder without immediate payment.
