A- financially the preorder window is a good time for me. I’d rather have the money spent and have the ability to play it when it launches. As opposed to something like having to wait for a paycheque if the actual release is poorly timed.

are you unable to just put away that money until you need it on release?

the fuck

I am but from an accounting standpoint it’s easier to spend the money than mentally subtract it from my savings every time. Especially if it’s far out and I want to use something like birthday money to treat myself.

I also sometimes lose track of small things. I may accidentally spend money for a game on dinner out. If I have money in my savings account, remembering that $60 for like 8 months is a tedious thing for something fun. Pre-ordering makes it easier to allocate.
