You know why we invented the idea of pre-ordering games before they released? Because they were physical copies and sometimes there weren't enough copies for everyone at launch. So you could throw down a $5 spot or w/e at Gamestop to guarantee you got a copy at launch.
When you pre-order a digital game, you contribute to a game being unfinished at launch. They've already got your money, why would they need to improve the game any further? And digital games don't run out of copies. Stop doing it.
