majority of consumers don’t care for these outrages unfortunately

Preordering online video games is such a rip off.

I go nuts on anyone preordering digital releases just to be outraged when it turns out the game sucks balls.

I usually pre-order PC games that come with a pre-order bonus on Steam because I can just refund it in two hours or playtime/2 weeks in library if it sucks. If it doesn't, well, I was going to buy it anyway. I know game prices are ridiculous now and I'm buying far less than I used to but being able to just refund it is a game-changer.
