Nobody should be preordering, but companies still offer it because too many dumbasses preorder anything and everything.
I will preorder a Zelda game or something where I’m pretty confident of the quality and I don’t want to worry about slow download speeds on the day of release. I assume my case isn’t what you’re talking about, but if it is foolish in some way that hadn’t occurred to me, please let me know lol
You can't be pretty confident of the quality before getting the game via preorder. All you have to go by at that point is trailers they made.
I think Nintendo games might be the exception here. You can get a physical copy on release day, put it in and play immediately, and the quality is gonna be at least 8/10, probably higher.
