Preordering games is an investment of money. It is a promise that game companies want to see because it means the have a guaranteed purchase. Nine million preorders on a game that isn’t even released lets them know they are going to make a minimum of X amount of money, especially if they get people to preorder a bundle that is worth twice the amount of the standard game for some cosmetic digital extras or physical presents or a pretty box.

Not only that, but the companies often drop the price of the preorder bonuses to being much closer to the price of the actual game, meaning that preorders are actually nearly scammed out of their money by gaming companies.

An example I can even attest to, personally, is Aliens: Colonial Marines. A horrific game that I couldn’t even get more than four hours into, so all I have is an expensive, glorified box of miscellaneous items and a figurine sitting on my DVD shelf.

Stopping preordering basically means that game companies can no longer distract us from poor games with statues and bonus items. Sell them separately. Let your game do your marketing for you. Let the statues and the art books and the maps sell themselves to gamers who truly love your games.
