I have a reason. A lot of big-name franchises become half-rushed, microtransaction-filled money-grabs. Pre-ordering based on a franchise promotes this behavior. It only takes a little self control to wait on reviews of a game first before handing your hard-earned money to these publishers. I'm not saying this Tomb Raider is going to be a bad game. The last two were great. Let's just be smart consumers and see how it turns out.
Just say no to pre-ordering games.

Pretty nice deal, I'm debating where to get this on PC or PS4 from best buy for HDR. Best buy would get you 47.99 with gcu and 10$. gift card.

Yup becuase we should all tell each other how to spend our money!

If ur going to tell someone to not do something at least offer a valid reason why.I'm betting u won't have any other then ur hate in general.

They're upselling early release dates now?
That's painful.

First two games were great, but be wary of this one. Early impressions from sources have been uninspiring, a lot of linear quick time events leading to cutscenes etc. They specifically cited it being inferior to 1/2. I'd personally wait for full release and research before paying so early.

No one can say it better than it's already been said below. Pre-ordering is objectively bad for the consumer pretty much any way you look at it. https://kotaku.com/stop-preorderi...1713802537
