pokedude900 03/19/21 1:07:29 PM #1:	Like, if the game has a pre-load option or some pre-order bonuses, I get putting money down on it a week in advance. But several months? And I actually see people get upset when that option isn't made available. It's not like they're going to run out of copies, so what's the big rush? --- https://imgur.com/Kh0QBLz https://imgur.com/hOhxEtg Come to the (un)official GameFAQs Touhou board. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1110- <cite>pokedude900 posted [p:951885539] in Why do peo...

cardoor123 03/19/21 1:20:21 PM #12:	Because these people have weak willpower. They have money to burn on that specific moment and they want to pay for that game to get it over with. If they can't spend their money on that game right then and there then they'll spend it on some other thing and when the option to pay for that game is available they won't have the funds needed to pay for it. Could they be smart and save their money until the pre-order become available? Yes but for whatever reason people must spend money as soon as they get it, people are not very bright. _ This is literally the only reason why I can see someone being upset at not being to pre-order something that early. <cite>cardoor123 posted [p:951886020] in Why do peo...
