No pre-orders. This should be the No.1 rule for any gamer.
You dont even know what you get, why would you pre-order?
If pre-orders ever made sense, it was when you still needed a physical cartridge or disc and the game wouldn't get patches anyways. But those days are long gone.
I really enjoyed cyberpunk 2077, I bought it a year after release on sale.
Now talk to several people who bought it day 1 😅
In all seriousness though, pre-ordering is bullshit
Eeew
