Honestly, if the idea of no trials don’t bother you, there are plenty more reminders why YOU shouldn’t preorder.

You're looking at just one community. Are we the only community to have ever had this discussion? Is it impossible for other people to discuss this same topic with different people, at different times, in different places? Do you have objective data surveying any significant sample sizes?

If not, then you're just making assumptions. So why make worse assumptions instead of better?

And I don't actually care about the results, I'm talking about the attitude on principle. I'm not insinuating that we need to reach everybody. I'm questioning the assumption that they're reaching nobody.

Of course other communities are also talking about that. /r/PCMR for example certainly does. But that doesn't change the fact that the people talking about it are very few and that they have little influence on the casual gamer in regards to their decision.

I mean look at how fucking hard it is for humanity to solve important issues where a lot more people are on board with. Compared to that, pre-order and the sorry state of gaming is utterly meaningless so of course a lot more people simply won't care.

But hey go ahead, I wish you the best of luck. I mean this seriously. But you can be sure that I won't bet any money on that side.
