Maybe I just sound like a dinosaur, but pre order culture just sounds ludicrous to me.
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.
The ironic thing is that the Reddit forums like r/Games and the comment sections for many gaming channels like Angry Joe are almost universally opposed to these greedy monetization tactics. Those communities have millions of followers.
Yet these games somehow still sell and pre-orders come out to a decent total- who's buying this garbage?
