So, uh, just how dumb have gamers become? I haven't bought anything in ages, don't keep up with the news, but even my ignorant ass knows not to preorder anthing.

Far as I'm concerned, anyone that dumb deserves to be ripped off.

Anyway, stay tuned, smash like and subscribe to keep up news on my latest AAA title!

Yeah, it's just that you couldn't officially preorder this game, you had to buy it the day it became available. Sure it was a shit game but people literally scamed themselves when they didn't even try to look up if the game they are buying is any good.

I feel like they missed a trick by not allowing you to pre order the day before it became available. Not that anyone should have, it just would have been funny
