Will gamers ever learn to never preorder?

[Vex Hilarius]

It's like every major release nowadays has this one group of disgruntled consoomers saying things like "never preordering again" or "I can't believe I preordered this". With the amount of comments I've seen for the past decade or so regurgitating the same thing, you think preordering would be a thing of the past, yet dumbfugs still do it.

Tinfoil hat time: The same people saying this will still get caught up the the consoomer hype and preorder the next disaster in the making.

No.

I have lost hope when I saw how many people pre ordered the Elden Ring DLC just to get a sloppy taunt.
People never learn

[sleeps]

no. i guess it stays like that until god knows how long.

[Violeta]

I could count the number of games I've pre ordered in my life on one hand.

Like I think pokemon sun/moon/ultra and uhhh.... uhhh...... might be it

and all I got from it was like 20-30 quick balls at the start...

I will gladly pre-order and pay something extra if I'm truly interested and the bonus is all worth it.

[Hammer Of Evil]

yes, it is encouraging mediocre product quality. can't deny that.

'why work when they buy it anyway' lazy mentality.

A man chooses, a slave obeys.

If the result isn't done well enough, then I'm not pre-ordering. It's really not as complicated as many people tend to assume and claim.

I will never stop pre-ordering games that I deem must have.

I used to pre-order from NISA all the time before they pissed me off. I also pre-ordered from Atlus before they got bought out by Sega.

It is all about needs versus wants when it comes to games.

im pre ordering elden ring dlc lul

[Crystal Sharrd]

I only preorder if I know without a doubt that it's a game I want and will enjoy. And it's only physical games I'll preorder. I've only ever preprdered two things digitally, and one of those I refunded a few months ago after I determined that official information released by the publisher indicated it was no longer a game I was certain I would enjoy.

Do I get a Limited Edition Skin for having this post on the first page of this thread? Did I pre-post in time?!

I agree - Gamer's rushing to pre-order is a problem.

But, paying in advance for a product you can't possible ever own or use as or when you wish... is wrong, too...

If I buy a game today and a developer decides they don't want to make good on their promises, I have zero recourse. They get my money, I get... Well, usually not much resembling the product they made it out to be.

It's all borked-up and we are herds upon which they feed.

Most likely nope, after all there's a reason AAA corporations still lure "whales", like a Casino does with gambling addicted people.

You need to stop pocket watching and let others pre order whatever they want

[The Tunnel Ratencio]

I only ever preordered one game because by the time it came out it became more expensive on my region.
