    Isn’t this something everyone should do with every game? No pre-order, wait until reviews are out. If not really needed, then wait until patches are out, maybe with a small or big sale on the game price too. Almost all AAA games launch broken or unoptimized.

      Pre-orders are bad for players and bad for devs. They’re only good for publishers.
