pre-ordering helps with a few things, actually.

helps you plan finances easier. can possibly include a pre-load so the servers aren’t smashed on release. and you get bonus stuff usually. no one thinks they’re going to run out. this shit is stupid.

If it helps plan finances it’s because you’re very bad with your finances.

No idea why this is being downvoted.

There is absolutely nothing stopping you from noting down that you'll have -$50 in December or whatever. It is the laziest thing ever to suggest it's "hard" to keep track of that over losing $50 today so your monke brain can go "hurr, is 50 less" right away.

The post you were responding to is pure copium by the exact people encouraging the worst tendencies from gaming companies.

Fr how can it help plan to finance ? Can’t you just like predict the same virtual amount but wait for the release which changes nothing ? Feels like impulsive expense justification. Real expense planing would be to wait until it release, wait for the hype to fall a bit and see if the price is justified lol
