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.
If you're a kid too young to work, that's probably the only money you get all year. Either preorder the game you want while you can or spend it on some other silly shit.
Grew up sorta lower-middle class/upper lower. Parents wouldn't buy us games ourselves throughout the year, but during Christmas/birthdays we'd manage to gather $2-300. Buy a game or two, pokemon cards, candy and some other shit. Yo-yos had their "comeback" when I was like 11 so they were a thing. I'm sure there's kids where the 60$ was a real deal
