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

Normies will continue to pre-order games. You are just shouting at clouds. Please stop wasting our times with these posts. The battle was lost years ago.

Normies can change if burned often enough. I am a filthy casual, and used to pre-order games. Between digital delivery and getting a few stinkers in my library I don't feel the need, and haven't for about a decade.

Industry will keep punishing those willing to pre-order until that behavior stops.
