pre-order isn't in development phase usually. Isn't the Early Access the exact point of funding developers in development? Usually a game that is in pre-order is basically done.

If we can't play and test the game (like in Early Access), then I am still against pre-orders. Because just because its an indie developer does not mean players should fund a game they don't know will be good or bad. Just my opinion.
