I'd say this is just another reason not to pre-order games, but anyone who pre-ordered this one is too blasted on whatever industrial solvents they're huffing to hear me anyway.

Hey, you're giving the industrial solvent huffers a bad name. ~~We~~ They dont wish to be lumped in with the preorderers

People who pre-order are voting with their wallet. Their message? Keep releasing crap, because we will continue to pre-order games at their unfinished state.

Pre-orders when you were buying physical copies of a game was, at the very least, a way to secure a copy that may be our of stock for weeks or months after and avoid scalpers. It only made sense to do it on games that you were really hyped about and you know everyone else is hyped about too. Pre-ordering a digital copy of a game is just asinine.

Not only that. "Make games as pricey as you like, I'll buy them no matter what" since people complain about a game being 75$ but buying them nevertheless.

Sounds about as useful as blinkers on a BMW. No one was gonna buy this garbage, let alone steal it.
