Damn it, what ever happened to no pre-orders. People never learn, do they?

People never agreed to that. It's not like a lot of these people hang out in communities where we drill this again and again.

Or they just don't care what niche communities think about pre-ordering and they just play their games and enjoy them?

I've preordered because GMG has a 20% off offer that I reckon is unlikely to be beaten before launch and I want to play on launch day, not some months later when there might or might not be a sale. Yeah, I'm impatient with games that vaguely resemble my dream game I've been thinking of since the original Elite on my Speccy :) But I'm also prepared for bugs and jank and needing mods to round out the game.
