Game pre-orders have not been good for sane people. Sure if people didn’t pre-order less games might exist overall but more good games would exist. Pre-orders have taught game companies that they can just make a game that looks pretty and has a fancy trailer and people will buy it. So now they all do that instead of making good games.

People are crazy, yes. It is obvious even without a shower :)
But for sane people, it is good, especially in the case of the videogames. While crazies throw money to the publisher/developer, helping fund the production, I can buy a game (full game, mind you: with cleaned out bugs and a pile of DLCs) for a few bucks later. A few years later, but that’s ok for me.
Imagine if all people were like me? We might have had many fewer games.

Yes that’s a good point, we need the early adopters to buy the games when they come out so companies can make their money. But still… in terms of pre-orders why not just wait until it’s been released and see what reviews are like first? 🤔

You ask crazy people to be reasonable crazy? :)
