People mostly pre-order for the add ons they put in. It's not uncommon for pre-orders to get beta access, or early access. Sometimes they get even greedier and tie that into the next tier up so you'll pay $80-100 for the game. People don't like to wait/get hit with fomo when they see everyone playing the game already.
