Lately I’ve been seeing more virtue signaling from gamers warning each other to not pre order upcoming games. What are you 5 years old lol you need reminders from internet strangers to not spend your money on a series that burned you in the past?

I’ll be honest, Pokemon is the one that gets me in that way. I will always buy buy a pokemon game, even if the reviews are bad. And I’ll play it all the way through even if I’m complaining the entire time.
I’m putting the blame on it being the thing from my childhood though, less than the gamerness. I’ll buy the pokemon game every time because even while I’m complaining about it my inner 8 year old is just going “Yay Pokémon!” the whole time, the same thing he’s said to every pokemon game for 20+ years
Even then though I still don’t consistently preorder Pokémon games. I’m against pre-orders on principle and I only do it for games I do have very high expectations for. I preordered Elden Ring and Spider-Man 2, I don’t think I’ve preordered anything else in like 5 years. Spider-Man I preordered 6 hours before release, so that I could play it at midnight. Elden Ring was dumb, I should’ve waited, good game though so I got lucky.
Why though? You could always play fan-made mods of the older games if you were after the nostalgia.
