I love how you imply people here don't enjoy playing videogames, when in reality we do, we just expect a 70 dollar product to fucking work.

What you're describing is called being a "consumer whore" and is the #1 reason unregulated capitalism will always lead to our demise. Consumers are morons and will willingly pay full price for some broken loot box addled bullshit because they didn't learn from the last fifteen times they got burned when preordering.

Is this the part where I refer to people worried about pre-orders as "basement dwelling losers having nothing in their lives worth caring about other than whether other people pre-order games" and then we trade insults for a few comments trying to get the last word until one of us gets bored?

I mean, that's what we would do on Reddit, but not sure if that's the case around these parts.
