If you're someone who pre-orders games, you're an active participant in the constant enshitification of gaming. Doesn't matter what game it is, you're contributing to a scummy corporate tactic that serves no positive benefit to the player.

It made sense with physical copies that had a limited quantity, now it's an outdated tradition from a bygone era.

I often buy physical games like a week or two after release, and they always come with the preorder bonus in the box.

Since when? Saros was the last physical game I bought, and it had codes for the preorder skins in the box.

Is it online/multiplayer? No exactly.
