Never pre-order digital games. It makes absolutely no sense and you should be punished if you do it anyway. Which is what happened here, so fine by me.


Why would anyone in their right mind pre-order a digital game? I thought the point of pre-ordering is to reserve a copy of a game so you'd be one of the first to receive it - even when there's low stock... If the game is digital, then there's no shortage of stock.

If the game in question benefits from the Pre-Load program it's a plus since you can start playing right at mid-night and not wait for countless hours until your download is complete. I think TLOU:R will already benefit from the Pre-Load program, not sure. 

 

Also digital pre-ordering is great when it has exclusive content attached to it. AND games available for pre-order will start downloading at mid-night while if it's not on pre-order you'll have to wait until the game it's available in the store, depending if you live in US/EU (Tuesday/Thursday, during the day). Not sure if it applies for every game, but in my experience with dark souls 2 it processed this way.
