Re: I don't understand pre-orders. Do you preorder?

I guess what I'm really asking is does anyone here pre-order... and WHY?
Do you get anything out of it?

   This gets asked periodically, and I have pre-ordered various title over the years.  Anything kickstarter is a pre-order, with the attraction being actually helping a project you like get funded, such as System Shock Remake, Overload, Woolfe.  I pre-ordered Cyberpunk due to all the hype, pre-ordered Stalker2 via a greymarket site to get a hefty discount.  You can see that some of these weren't in true release condition for years, was that a huge deal, well not really.  The last couple years in particular, with its tsunami of 'free' games from retailers and release debacles has made us more blasé and cynical, but pre-ordering can still be fun
