Nobody is making people or forcing people to pre-order D2 or anything else for that matter and telling people not to based on your pesonnal opinion is ridiculous. If you have the money and want to buy it do so,if not then dont,its not hard to understand. The profit thing- Not pre-ordering the game will make no difference what so ever to its content or its design. D2 has been in development for a long time,put this into context, 1 25min episode of the simpsons takes 6 months to make, how long do you think a interactive console game takes? The idea that the money D2 pre orders make now is going to have a influence is ludicrous. Activision/bungie dont just pocket all the profits and have a massive party, they have share holders/investers to pay, these people invest a lot of money into activision/bungie and alot more game developers/ publishers, they, in return, want a return on that investment, which comes out of the profits made from the games sold, the more games sold the more profit, the more profit makes a more attractive investment opportunity for more investment, meaning better game development in the future. Without these investers there would be limited money, meaning there would be limited game/tech development and very few if any good games being made. Before people start saying "we are paying fat cat investers a fortune" these people risk thousands/millions £$€ to help forward the game industry and in the hope they get a successful return. If you have a problem with the game world and want a say in how bungie/activision and the game industry is run then go buy some shares,become an invester. Trying to break or ruin a company isn't going to help in anyway what so ever.
