I advice you to rethink this. You’re paying earlier, the money won’t dissapear if you wait until release. Also, real reviews would help deciding what to skip.
Because games and hardware get released in bursts. If I know I’m going to buy it day one preordering one a month is easier to manage than buying them all at the same time.
The couple of bucks from the savings account over that time period is less helpful to me.
I genuinely don’t get the “don’t pre order just buy the day it releases” thing. What do you think you’re winning?

Nobody ever said the second part.
Don’t pre order, wait for reviews a couple weeks after release, buy if reviews are good and no major bullshit is discovered.
What do you think you’re winning?
Avoiding the major bullshit.
Also, even if you did just buy day one: If developers have a lot of pre orders they know they’ll sell anyway they have less of an incentive to deliver the highest possible quality day one. That’s why people are telling you to not pre order. I could not care less if a stranger struggles with day one bugs, but they are helping to lower the bar for everyone else.
No. Pre-ordering is how I spread costs out.
Stop blaming the victim for shitty corporate practices.
I would agree normally but it’s Lenovo.
How does that spread the cost? Does it have some financing for preorders ?
Games and hardware get released in bursts at the same time. Buying one a month is easier for me to manage than four at once.

A savings account earns interest, you can pay into it monthly until product release…
How does paying up front before release spread the cost?

It’s about sending a message. A message that pre-ordering is not worth anymore and they (hopefully) stop releasing unfinished beta releases.
You’re the one enabling those shitty practices
