I guess I could understand if you spend $110 on something like an Earthbound cartridge, but this game's not even out yet. At best, all one's seen of a game before release are carefully curated videos and screenshots; those aren't guarantees the game will be of a high quality or even be finished.
Maybe I just sound like a dinosaur, but pre order culture just sounds ludicrous to me.
I don't understand any of it. Overpriced pre orders, cosmetics, pay to win, almost any of the modern tactics. They all seem to make a TON of money though.

It is, but you have to understand that what MCMoneyPants said is 100% correct.
Here, this place and other anti-woke social circles are unfortunately not the norm -- we all see the writing on the wall, call out the faggotry and wankery that persists in society writ large. But this place isn't the reality that the normies occupy. Their reality is much, much worse, and much larger.
If you ever go into normie spaces you will quickly realise just how much the woke overlords control; the zeitgest is chiefly woke among the Gen Z and Gen Alpha types, and plenty of Millennials.
In the anti-woke circles everyone talks about Ubislop and corposlop and girlbosses being the insufferable wenches that they are; we deride pre-order culture, talk about the good times in gaming from the 1970s through the mid aughts, and reminiscence about proper masculine media. But if you go outside of those circles, into the normie spaces, the normie channels, the normie forums, or dare I say even Reddit, they are completely pozzed.
I was shocked at just how many people in normie YouTube channels still seemed interested in playing Fail Wars: Outlaws. I tried explaining why the game seemed terrible and tried comparing it to previous 3D action-adventure titles and just how much it lacked compared to games made 20 years ago, but a lot of them have never played games even made in the early 2010s, so their frame of reference is nil.
TL;DR: The propaganda is working on the younger generations, and they are lured into making stupid decisions because they have grown up in an environment where they have been cultured to be stupid.
Don't worry, you are sane, they are fucking stupid idiots. It exists for the same reason spam email is a thing. Because jackasses actually respond to it.
They don't play games. They have people to do that for them. Except they probably don't even do that anymore. If a game/studio has committed Wrongthink, they harp on that. Otherwise, they read the company's press release.
The golden dildo they used to fuck them in the ass. Except anyone dumb enough to be playing that game right now probably enjoy it.
That and well if the tweet is correct people stupid enough to give Ubisoft $110. Then probably bitching they can't pay their bills and need communism.
Why do you think people do this?
