i pre-ordered witcher 3, cyberpunk 2077, and crimson desert. i enjoyed/am still enjoying all three, but the practice of pre-ordering really is devilish. the witcher 3 version was even on a ps4 which i don't own anymore, so i had to rebuy the game on steam years later for like 15€ with dlc. i don't really regret pre-ordering, not even cyberpunk. i liked it at launch, and like it even more now. the quests, side quests, and world building are decent to excellent, and those were for the most part already there at launch. it was just very buggy, and some things just didn't work.
