I pre-order games because economy in my country is fucked beyond helping.

If I don't buy it now I have to pay twice for it on launch lol.

I'll just wait a year after launch and pay 10% of the launch price and all the bugs are fixed, and I get to play first time with all the additional content they add to apologize for all the bugs.

You mean 10% of the price they raised the game to to put it on sale for MSRP. For indie, sure, but AAA is pure greed. Games older than most gamers are still $60 and go on sale for 25% off once a year. I'm glad I've got a thousand games to work through before I need to turn to any new AAA titles.

Yeah... I suppose that's why I don't have too many AAA titles. They tend to be way over hyped at this point anyway. The money grab is pretty apparent.
