Preordering, Why Is It Bad?

I don't see how no one preordering games will fix any of the problems people attribute to preordering. No one preorders movies and there's no end to profitable terrible movies. Seems like people mostly preorder for convenience or are fans of a series. I'm sure plenty of people preorder because of marketing hype but... so? How does someone else "wasting" money on a terrible game effect you patiently waiting and buying games after you've read reviews and made an educated decision? Besides, doesn't overhyped garabage help fund riskier projects? Isn't that a good thing? Enlighten me. :)

  • I only preorder a day or two before release if I know for certain I'm going to buy the game regardless of reviews or hype. If I'm definitely buying it, preordering may give me whatever extras come with it. I will not preorder months before release though.
