I don't get the outrage over tiered Preorder bonuses.
It's a reward publishers give you all in exchange for granting them working capital for marketing and development of the title. They're really just the same as Kickstarter rewards, except cheaper and with greater promise for a real game by the end.


Its not the same at all. With Kickstarter, your money means the game can actually exist at all. Preorders just mean publishers can put a number on their financials. So taking out content for a fully funded game is worlds different from rewarding the people who gave your game a chance to exist at all.
