Why do people still pre-order games before release? It's not like a physical object that will be sold out. Just wait until release and look if its good or bad.

    In case of indie games to give the developer funding.

    pre-order isn't in development phase usually. Isn't the Early Access the exact point of funding developers in development? Usually a game that is in pre-order is basically done.

    If we can't play and test the game (like in Early Access), then I am still against pre-orders. Because just because its an indie developer does not mean players should fund a game they don't know will be good or bad. Just my opinion.
