Idk how smart you are... you can "pre-order" games for a very little amount of money and either pay them off over time or when you pick it up. I read your whole argument with this guy and honestly couldn't follow your points at all. I get that buying the game completely at the first hint of a pre-order is not smart because you don't know what you're getting, but you don't have to purchase a full game to "pre-order". And in many instances of pre-ordering you are allowed to cancel even after the game comes out as long as you didn't pick it up. So even if you did pay full price for a pre-order and then saw that the game was bad you could just cancel...
