I did it for Witcher 3 (Good idea) and Fallout 4 (bad idea).

But why did you do it and how was it a good idea? Didn't you see what fake anon said?

No I didn't...

You can ask her to file a motion with the council. Just don't tell her I told you, it may effect the motion she said she would file for me.

I did once on a Pokemon game and it went fine

Yeh but it couldn't have gone fine, then it would have been totally silly and you'd ask yourself why you didn't wait paying for it, why you just had to pay for it prematurely.

It's a throw back to when physical copies were in short supply but now it's a cash grab

Yeah, I did it for Pokemon Silver. I put down 5 bucks at WalMart and picked it up the day it came out. I still remember that day still.

I also preordered quite a few DS games from GameStop back in the day.

Nowadays I’ll just order on Amazon and get it delivered within 2-3 after release. I don’t need games day one anymore. I hardly play games anymore. The last game I bought was the Link’s Awakening remake and it’s still sealed in shrink wrap

> Why would anyone pre-purchase a game

For the same reason people pre-order books, movies, and other entertainment? Seems pretty normal to me.
