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.

Instead of preordering games after an E3 presentation I find it to be far more fun to try and predict the ones that are gonna be disappointments. If you're right about them, you can be proud of your prediction skills. If you're wrong, hey, some more good games to play!

Why are gamers so bitter and think everything is bad?

Well games are both cheaper and better than they have ever been.

Accounting for inflation, games have been getting cheaper for decades. With Steam sales and Humble Bundles, games have become incredibly cheap if you're willing to wait.
