    People are so desperate to never experience a moment of FOMO in their whole life that they’ll buy some terrible looking game like The Day Before. Rips off TLOU like crazy, but otherwise looks like complete shit. You’re not going to be a popular youtuber. Stop trying to keep up with youtubers who get sent games for free.

      There is never any reason to pre-order a game. Like, ever. It’s always stupid and reinforces terrible incentives that drive the enshittification of gaming. Even when the devs aren’t straight up scammers, preorders mean they can be profitable before they’ve even released anything so they’re incentivized to put out whatever half-baked garbage they can.
