Honestly, if the idea of no trials don’t bother you, there are plenty more reminders why YOU shouldn’t preorder.

Companies 100% have a right to skip demos and sell pre-orders. And people have a right to boycott those.

Absolutely! The numbers show they gain roughly double the sales with trailers/footage and no demo, they won't budge until boycotts reverses that. Same with microtransactions we all hate; they basically just print money.
