Yeah, I don't see any reason to buy (or pre buy!) any game at all. At launch you're paying double for a beta version basically. Like you said, wait for the actual game to be released a few months later at a good price.

Yup. If it says $60 or more that's just beta pricing.

Hey, Pokemon never goes down in price and is that much!

...Wait that just supports your argument

Did Game Freak ever bother fixing the performance issues of Scarlet/Violet?

Sounds about right...

Good call mentioning pre-orders as well. I never did it back in the age of physical media, but there was at least a reason for it then. Now the only reason to do it is to get some bonus skins or other garbage with your buggy game.

I’ve loved every Besthesda game and preordered Fallout 76…learned from that mistake and never again. I’ll put games on my steam list and wait for a sale.
