I usually only pre order when I'm 99% sure I'm gonna love the game and it's made by a company with a good reputation of having games be good at launch Ex: Zelda tears of the kingdom
I was 99% sure totk was gonna be amazing but I still pirated that shit and gave it a test run... I obviously loved it and went out and purchased a copy... I'm so jaded with games even nintendo is not safe in my book
But... why? What benefit does it give you?
To get it on release if you want the physical version.
Are people actually experiencing shortages tho? I just waltzed into the local store and picked up a copy. No biggie.
That makes sense if there's shortages in your area. I can't help but feel that this isn't the case for 95% of pre-orders though
no, but I just found it simply easier, don't have to leave the house and such
this lol
