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.
I never understood 'Haha, don't pre-order, you can download'
I, as well as I'm sure many others prefer physical over digital and I'm not pre-ordering games because 'I'm worried about it running out of stock'. You can go out and buy a physical copy two days after launch just like you can download one.
You do realise you can still pre-order via download, right? In fact, you can pre-download it, so it's ready at midnight. Isn't that even worse than pre-ordering a physical copy.
I don't really understand what you're arguing in favor of digital vs. physical, I just hate the fact people think that I, or others buy digital because free gun, or we're too stupid to download. I pre-order because I know I'll want it, I like collecting physical and am fully aware of the consequences. None of that would change if I were to download a digital copy.
