Why you shouldn't Pre-order video games

In this video, I outline my points for why I believe people should not pre-order video games, looking at both negatives for the individual consumer as well as the industry as a whole. Apologies for some slight audio glitches in the middle of the video, was unable to remove them.

If you have any questions regarding the video or anything you would like me to try and clarify, please let me know in the comments below.

You can never guard yourself against lies, like No Man's Sky. We choose if we want to pre-order and we have the choice to NOT pre-order if things are looking too good to be true. But that has nothing to do with pre-orders, blatant lies is misleading, but people bought into the idea.

Early access, kickstarter, fig, pre-orders - to me it doesn't matter. People have a choice. There is always a huge risk to all of these and some turn out really well as well.

I don't think anyone can say 'this is why you should never pre-order' instead say 'think about this if you are considering it!'

Just IMHO.

Aliens: Colonial Marines was worth every single penny what are you talking about? So you saying pre ordering Final Fantasy 15 CE was worth it because SquareEnix saved you a few dollars from getting the Kingsglaive & Brotherhood films patching by in clips a few months back? Paying Tekken 7 CE with Season Pass for $150 no big deal can't miss that Day One. How about Persona 5 "Take My Heart" edition that was for $90 bucks? Darkseid was pre order for Injustice 2 nah its fine the Mortal Kombat crew was worth your money instead. Sure EA has lovely amount off DLC Cars for Need For Speed: Payback or for next Ultimate Edition off Fifa 18! Easy to pick on Aliens because its a "big franchise" when the media was cutting into developers after not getting what you wanted.
