For the people who are wondering why you would pre-order a digital game, I usually do it when I trust the company and they give a pre-order discount. Didn't work for me this time though
Exactly. It's almost a "I trust you, here's £20 a month in advance of the game being released, I won't wait for the reviews, I trust it'll be a good game and worth my time."
There's no reason to pre-order if there's both a risk of a dud game and a risk of paying a premium for it!!
