In a time of nigh-unlimited capacity for downloads, video games publishers use a variety of tactics to get you to pre-order games on day one. But what is the benefit of this to the gamer? Sqat and Rat talk about these in this episode!
In a time before convenient, simple game fronts, gamers may forget or may have missed the time when pre-ordering a video game could mean the different between day one play and having to wait for weeks. However, with the rise of reviewers and downloading games on day of release, it makes much less sense to put money down a game that may launch broken.
Ratnado and SqatCobblr discuss their experiences with some of their pre-orders, some of the blunders they've witnessed, and some of the pre-orders that turned out well for them.
