how do you feel about the “don’t preorder games” mindset?

i’ve seen this floating around in the gaming community for awhile. i believe it stemmed from games that weren’t 100% ready at their launch. when dragon age: the veilguard was releasing i heard this a lot. tbh, i preordered the game because it was the first ever dragon age release ive been around for and i wanted the little bonuses for preordering. were the bonuses that important? not really, and i probably could’ve done without them but i don’t regret it in the slightest.

how does everyone else feel about this?
