I think someone should start a campaign against pre-ordering, specifically at places like GameStop/EbGames, until they start making it whorth our while. All we are doing is giving them a clear picture about how many of a certain title they should order. So, for helping them with their ordering process, I think we deserve half off a used game or something. Who has the energy to organize such a campaign? Maybe I should write Cassamassina. |
Why would you care so much to make some kind of movement against preordering? If you don't want to preorder a game then just don't do it. It's really that simple. Some people prefer to preorder their games because they simply like the comfort so why should you try to ruin their day?
I do agree that they do do some shady/annoying things like tell you that you got the last copy of a game when you didn't preorder (I've never seen them like about having none since, you know, they like money) and constantly being hounded to preorder like constantly getting asked to upsale your popcorn like at a movie theater is annoying but that's no reason to be selfish and fuck with people that actually want to preorder.
