    But if you preorder they will give you a green cape +2 mana and a sword +2 dex. Both would be complete garbage at level 3, but… Yeah, dumb pre-ordering animal…

      Or they’ll try to pawn off a cheap nylon bag on you instead of the nice canvas one you thought you were getting.

      This might be true for indie devs, but none of the indie games I’ve ever seen popular interest in do pre-orders. They all do early access now. It only seems to be the AAA studios collecting on free hype money to take an early dip on profits.

    I pre-ordered digital games once or twice to pre-download it and start playing as soon as it’s released, instead of waiting another day to finish downloading.
