Stop Pre-Ordering Games

The pre-order industry is terrible for game developers and consumers. It preys directly on you fear of missing out, telling you that if you don’t have the pre-order exclusive, you wont be a true fan of the series. It encourages people to buy games they know almost nothing about, to get things that don’t really exist. In some cases, like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s controversial pre-order kerfuffle, gamers were encouraged to get their friends to pre-order as well in order to obtain a tiered system of in game unlocks.

Whether pre-orders are bad for the industry is an all together different topic. But there’s also no denying that a few times a year, there’s a game you just know you’ll get, no matter what anyone says. Don’t feel guilty about going for it. Just don’t preorder everything.
