After the debacle that was Destiny 2, which I pre-ordered for $100 (which was a lot back then), I swore off ever pre-ordering games ever again. However Starfield is out soon, and I have been dying to play it it’s the whole reason I bought my Series X. So, do I preorder it?
I don’t understand pre-ordering games at all. Do they limit sales somehow? Can’t you just buy it on the day it’s released? I only play games when they come down in price so I’ve never tried to buy a game on release day.
(Books, however, I regularly pre-order but only when I know the author has finished the book and there’s a definite release date; this way it gets shipped to arrive on the release date and I can help authors get up the best seller list (that’s why you see all those obscure Marxists at the top of the NYT bestseller list all the time – it’s me buying one copy).)
