meh, you can always;

refund (takes 10 seconds to do, money is usually back within ~1-8h if Steam)

cancel the order, or send back if already sent (if physical copy.)

just play it - don't like it - sell it for ~15-20% less than what you gave, if it's some special edition you might be able to sell for more or the same, though don't bet on it if its like 5/10 game... obviously only works for physical copies.

Not that i think pre-ordering is a great idea, i've done it maybe 5 times in my life.

I've pre-ordered two games in my life: 1, Diablo II, physical copy obviously. I'm glad I did since it was sold out before the store opened that day and I just walked in and got my copy. 2. Skyrim, physical copy. Got a poster etc. but ultimately felt that I could've just bought it normally.

With the advent of Steam and Xbox pre-ordering I noticed that it's more of a scam than anything else. Buy on release day. It's digital and thus no risk of not getting a copy.

Boy do I need a random visual queue every 5 seconds to keep being involved in whatever platitudes this guy



spews.
Is ADHD that much of a thing? Does it keep anyone engaged past the 20s (tops) mark?

Because the crux of it is plain to see and has been for years.
This dude's take, even if "fresh", aged like sepsis.
