That’s certainly true. I’d still say that for the online stores, for which that policy applies, there isn’t a lot of upside to preordering. Because the purchase is digital, you will always be able to get a copy on release day (unless the publisher artificially limits how many games it will sell, but I’ve never heard of a publisher doing this).
I would’ve appreciated a trigger warning on the post since it uses a slur, but wow, it is amusing (I’m sure it’ll be less amusing once I experience more overt transphobia).
