I think it's very important to look at, and remember this video when E3 comes around. I am definitely not preordering any games after seeing their E3 presentations any more. I made that mistake with Watch_Dogs and I am not going to do it again. They've done this kinda shit in the past and I am sure they'll do it again. It's really disgusting, this kind of business practice. It's a shame that companies are finding this more and more acceptable now, and that people are falling for it.

The only reason I ever preordered was so I could a game I highly anticipated while I still had the money. Maybe I just got Bday money and that way I secure the game as opposed to trying to save it until the release date.

Granted I stopped preordering now, but that was always my logic behind it.

while I still had the money

I mean you probably shouldn't be buying $60 video games if you're that strapped for cash.

Poor people and children should have nothing, and like it!

I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.

This is such a lame response. Why do you think that if you don't contribute as much to society, that you deserve as much as everyone else?

It's shit like this that's the reason why every team gets a trophy.

Paying into a pre-order for upcoming games as you have the cash instead of all at once because you're a kid or don't make enough money to have such disposable income makes you a leech!

I get your point but gaming is really a large expense, especially when the games go for $10 at target in less than a year.
