People need to understand that most preorders don't even charge you until launch day, or the day it ships. Preorders also aren't even accounted as revenue until those days either.

The company does not see any financial gain until the day of launch, regardless of if you preorder or buy day one.

"Aquatic Ambience" from Donky Kong Country (Coral Capers - This first water level)

I know graphics are different now but when I was little.....it was most amazing thing I had ever seen and then every single level was dropping the most amazing music. There was a cheat code you could use to listen to the audio files and music ala sound test.

Dude kids are to lazy to move their ass and swap the disc in the console.

Save environment is stupid excuse bs! At the same time they order junk from Aliexpress fake off brands factories encouraging more nock off products to be made just to save $1 it takes 3 weeks deliver across the globe and across China between 10 different depots then onto container ship that destroys environment. They dump buckets of junk into the sea constantly. But Billy doesn’t care about anyone but himself.

No one is making you buy anything. It's not evil.

Preordering simply shows how much people want the game.

If 2 million people preorder a game it's an indication that people are excited about the game. It can basically give you a floor of how much money the game will make. It's good for publishers and developers.

Monopoly definitions according to your favorite resource google:

  1. The exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service

  2. A company or group having exclusive control over a commodity or service.

  3. A commodity or service in the exclusive control of a company or group.

  4. The exclusive possession, control, or exercise of something.

  5. A board game in which players engage in simulated property and financial dealings using imitation money. It was invented in the US and introduced in 1933 by Charles Darrow; a forerunner of the game had been patented on 5 January 1904 as ‘The Landlord's Game’ by Elizabeth J. Magie.

None of these would apply, for someone who aggressively tells people to google things you'd think you'd be able to yourself.

UPDATE - Kept the PS5 and purchased the Laptop, I bumped into GeForce Now and I have gigabit Internet so I’ve got the best of both worlds for the time being :)
