Why are you fuckwits still pre-ordering?

Why are you fuckwits still pre-ordering?

>Handing over money before receiving a product and basing whether you will enjoy it or not from media designed to encourage you to preorder and leaving your expectations to run wild of what could be instead of showcasing what you will actually be receiving.

>AAA publishers laugh as they wipe their cracks with 100 dollars bills and whip devs into producing copy and pasted sequels every year

>You receive a husk of what the original game was going to be, content is cut and resold as dlc and microtransactions.

>The cycle continues

ITS TIME TO STOP

I wonder the same thing all the time, same for early access.

That's because it's all the casual retards who pre-order shit. The fine people on Sup Forums would never do that.

Would you, Sup Forums?

>have never peordered anything ever
Are you proud of me, user?

but i haven't ever preordered anything

>have only preordered

yes, you have a brain

proud of you

>preordering games

This and hype culture need to be swiftly removed from existence

General audience is ignorant of said facts and don't consider the long term consequences of enabling corporations to cut games after pre-order or even use exaggeration or misinformation about said game and receive bulk of the profits through pre-orders.

Most people don't see entertainment in a critical and/or economical stand point. They just want a time waster and have very little quarrels when it comes to cutting out content or being lied to so long as the game isn't offensively bad and their time is effectively wasted enough. At the same time many individuals even form a bond with said corporation and will be overtly apologetic to their practices out of sheer consumer loyalty even if said loyalty isn't really warranted.

normies buy into all the gamestop and retailer's constant bombardment of pre-ordering. sometimes even get small pathetic "bonuses" to pre order

i've only preordered two games in my life

>Wind Waker for the GC

i got it for the Oracle of Time disc.

>Pokemon Moon

i can't defend this one. i could have gotten it cheaper at my work than at EB.

in both cases, i would have bought the games anyway.

Preordering certain Nintendo games makes sense if you're a member of a "Gamer's Club" such as what Amazon and Best Buy are offering.

Unless they're real stinkers like Paper Mario: Sticker Star or Metroid: Other M, Nintendo first-party offerings take forever and a day to appreciably come down in price.

Sup Forums Post of the day.

I want the shit that preorder bonuses give (only if it's physical, DLC costumes are ass). Also since I usually play on 3DS I can generally play a demo before the game's release and see if it's worth it.

Only game I've pre ordered was Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin on DS.

The only games that get my preorder(not charged by best buy til release) is Zelda, Mario and anything Kojima touches. Everything else can wait

I've only preordered games a couple games. Brawl and Dissidia.

Dissidia burned a lot less.

I preordered Demon's Souls. No regrets.

I only pre order stuff that has a risk of running out of stock within the first day the pre orders open
which almost never happens to be anything related to videogames that i actually want

games never run out of stock

I preordered F4, got the season pass, and enjoyed it. Stay mad

I pre order niche weeb games

Hello cancer my old friend

>>You receive a husk of what the original game was going to be, content is cut and resold as dlc and microtransactions.
Joke's on you, I also preorder the season passes/dlc

Not him but I am.
Good job so far.

Do you think Shenmue III would have gotten made without preorders?

>Jokes on you
You're wasting your own money...keks all round

Hey this post is really smart.

What's the most you've ever paid for a video game?

Me? I shelled out $13 for Skyrim: Ultimate Edition.

I preorder games I was going to buy anyway, no matter how shit. the devs will never listen so why bother.
like Pokemon.
I'm getting sun and moon no matter how much I hate the new designs

I only preorder shit I know won't disappoint me, not AAA garbage

I can't really recall a time I preordered a game and then wished I never bought it because if I have any doubts about a game I wait until after release

I preordered Bioshock Infinite because the preorder bonuses were a few tf2 hats I sold for a bit of dosh, a slight discount, Xcom Enemy Unknown, and Bioshock 1 (I didn't own it on pc).

When it came out I loved Infinite and had zero regrets but I haven't preordered since because fuck taking that risk again.

I believe the only people CLAIMING they've predored something and tell that on the internet are 1. retards and 2.corporate shills.

Seriously, only retards preorder and definitely shills CLAIM so, just to trigger the retards.

Anyone with a a tiny bit of sense probably doesn't do it.

Preordering games in general doesn't make sense. I have preordered games when there was a decent discount and preorder incentives, though.

I used to preorder games all the time on PS2 since I got physical gifts with the game as well.

Bruh I wouldn't do that with an 8th why would I do it for a game ahah DO YOU FEEL ME??

only for niche games sometimes stock is low for those types of games

Halo 4 also it was the limited edition and I regretted getting that piece of garbage.

My whole life, I've only pre-ordered
>Skyward Sword
I had loved every Zelda game released by then, including the ones Sup Forums hates including Skyward Sword and I had a lot of trouble finding Twilight Princess just a few days after release, but I don't know if I'll pre-order BotW because I assume most people are going to want to play it on NX and I'm not sure if I'm going to be getting one at release yet.

>Zero Time Dilemma
I had loved the last two games, felt obligated to after Operation Bluebird and I wanted to get in on the watch edition before they sold out Still haven't heard anything about when my watch is supposed to get here

>Rodea the Sky Soldier
I didn't know how big the first run of the game would be and didn't want to miss out on what all signs were pointing to be the superior wii version.

At least with early access, you can play it and refund at anytime.

>if you didn't buy this in the first two weeks it came out you were basically fucked aside from scalper fucks

wtf i hate preorders now

goddamnit
