Preordering, Why Is It Bad?
I don't see how no one preordering games will fix any of the problems people attribute to preordering.
No one preorders movies and there's no end to profitable terrible movies.
Seems like people mostly preorder for convenience or are fans of a series. I'm sure plenty of people preorder because of marketing hype but... so?
How does someone else "wasting" money on a terrible game effect you patiently waiting and buying games after you've read reviews and made an educated decision?
Besides, doesn't overhyped garabage help fund riskier projects? Isn't that a good thing?
Enlighten me. :)

But if people didn't pre-order, developers would be forced to make their games of really high quality to ensure people buy the game and ensure that the developer can make sequels. I can assure you if no one pre-ordered Destiny, it would not have the figures it did on release, using that game as the most relevant example.
