Lately I’ve been seeing more virtue signaling from gamers warning each other to not pre order upcoming games. What are you 5 years old lol you need reminders from internet strangers to not spend your money on a series that burned you in the past?

    The calculation people make is “this game might be good” and “I want the exclusives”. They determine that the risk of it being bad is worth paying on the offchance it’s good and they won’t get the exclusives.

    It’s annoying but it absolutely works on much of the audience.

      That’s only fair when they buy the more expensive copie that has exclusives.
