I hear ya.
However, I don't believe bungivision gets a cent from preorders.
I paid $5 for a Cayde figurine, access to the early beta and a guaranteed copy of the game when it releases. My $5 was not sent to activision. And I can get my 5 bucks back without a purchase.
I don't understand this 'don't preorder' hype.

I've been saying this, usually people don't respond. It's comical to think about all the people who don't understand how this works

When you pro-order the digital copy (which a surprisingly large number of people such as myself do), you have to pay full price up front. And cancelling a pre-order on a digital purchase is a nightmare. Reason I buy digital is because me and a buddy gameshare with each other.
-
When I pre ordered digital it told me that I would be charged no sooner than 10 days before release. That's after gameplay reveal and beta, plenty of time to cancel the order.
-
Odd. When I went to pre-order Rise of Iron on PSN, I had to pay up front. Think it's a recent change to the system though.
-
I don't know man, either Xbox is different or different rules apply to a dlc than to a title release. Those are the only things I can think of
-
When I pre-ordered Mass Effect in February I had to pay up front as well. Didn't mind though, game was totally worth it.

Just sheep repeating other sheep lol

You could say that about both sides of any argument

Edited by bFLY: 4/12/2017 11:53:23 PMYea, any argument that's not supported by facts or real evidence.

Ah, you convinced me [spoiler]see?[/spoiler]

You are correct. They do not get any money before delivering a product.

[quote]I don't understand this 'don't preorder' hype.[/quote] It is because Donkeylover69 on the YouTubes said it was BAD!!!
-
If you preorder from Bungie's website they get the money right away.
-
Oh, really. Tell me where you are ordering it from.
-
I used the bungie store website.
-
Mhmm. And do you not select from a menu that says "select a retailer" or anything along those lines?
-
Depends on the tier you purchased.

Edited by NobodyJustBrad: 4/12/2017 8:51:23 PMSince you won't answer, I'll walk you through it. Bungie Store does not sell pre-orders. You are referring to destinythegame.com. When shopping at destinythegame.com, you choose your product (tier as you called it). Then you select your platform, then country. Then you click Pre-Order, and you are taken to a list a places to pre-order from: -Digital Deluxe offers GameStop and either Microsoft or Sony. -Digital Standard, Microsoft or Sony. -Standard, list of physical stores (i.e. Best Buy, Target, etc.) And Amazon, none are Bungie stores. -Game + Expansion Pass, same list as digital. -Expansion Pass alone, GameStop. -Limited Edition, GameStop. -Collector's Edition, physical stores and Amazon. So no, they do not get your money at the time of purchase.
-
You could even cancel your pre orders you made on their game. But yeah, your purchase involves the middle man, retailers.
-
And which retailer did you choose?
