The mistake was pre-ordering in the first place
While I agree, we shouldn't criticize people for learning and changing for the better.
We've had decades of pre-order shenanigans, you'd think every gamer and their mother would know to avoid them by now.
The impulse is understandable, but yeah. You'd think they'd learn.
The impulse WAS understandable to me when physical copies sold out. I got so lucky that someone cancelled their Wii preorder and I was able get one without camping. I preordered a Monster Hunter game for the 3DS and it super sold out immediately.
But now when digital games are infinite… I never preorder anything. Why would I? I don’t support preorder bonuses…
And it does send a signal.
True but we should be calling out the practice as anti consumet behaviour...
Absolutely!
Shh, if denuvo is what finally makes them learn then let's just let it play out.
