Honestly, if the idea of no trials don’t bother you, there are plenty more reminders why YOU shouldn’t preorder.

    I think it’s an age thing a lot of times. It’s like telling my kids to brush their teeth because of my experiences with dental, or you can plug any example like that.

    I can tell kids not to preorder all I want. They just haven’t had the opportunity to be burned as many times as we have yet.

      I think a lot of gamers just don’t care enough too. I know so many people that buy a game on release, play it for a few hours, and then drop it. Even AAA titles that are actually good.

      Steam achievements kinda confirm that as well, there is a fair bit of drop-off on even the most popular games.

      This isn’t a kids thing, we’ve been pre-ordering games since before today’s kids were born

          But did you really? Do you have the stats on which demographic pre-orders the most?

            I did a quick search and couldn’t find anything that breaks down by age sadly. I really hope someone has the stats cause it would be fascinating to see.
