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

If you buy at shops like Green Man Gaming you can save $12 or so at launch.

Drawback is no refund if it's shit

There are also the pre-order bonuses, like cool skins or early access. Caveat emptor on the actual value proposition.

You mean access to locked content unless you pay sight unseen. Hardly a benefit.
