I refuse to pre-order stuff. As things stand I won't even buy a game in the very first few months (with a few exceptions) because I know I would be paying to be a beta tester.
I am paradoxically okay with winding up paying to be a beta tester! ...if it's for a tiny indie studio doing something weird, interesting, and experimental where I can join a Discord and talk to people about it. That's a fun experience. To hell with paying a major corporation for the privilege of being any form of sucker.
