Exactly. The OP doesn't have a clue what he's talking about and clearly doesn't understand a free market economy. Look what just happened to United Airlines over dragging that dude off the plane as an example. Their stock plummeted and they lost millions in revenue in a couple days, and now they are doing all sorts of stuff to try to get customers back. That can easily happen with any company, even Bungie.

Which is why I bought the stock, they aren't going anywhere and I will bank on the idiots who panicked and sold it over the plane incident. That being said an those security guys were rough as hell!

Good luck with that venture but I think this is the beginning of the end for United. They have been going down the toilet, service wise, for years compared to the other major airlines. They were already bleeding before this happened. They will swirl around the toilet bowl for a few more years until some other airline buys them out and most stockholders will eat a shit sandwich. Yea they -blam!-ed that dude up. I laughed so hard I almost cried because of the noises he was making, but I'm a sick person. He sounded like a pig being attacked.

Name a mmo released in the last year that did so without a preorder.

This isn't a discussion about if a game has or has not been on a preorder list. It is about the fundamental truths and basic economics. Why did preordering start? Why is it still a thing?

It's a way of showing investors that they can invest in a product launch
