Ain't no way I was gonna be buying BO7 on launch until I played it and made sure it was decently optimized. I've been baited too often by games running/being fine during beta/open access only for it to be a completely different story on launch day.
I was going to get it via Game Pass for the first month before, now that they lost sales I definitely will be lol
Isn't this something everyone should do with every game? No pre-order, wait until reviews are out. If not really needed, then wait until patches are out, maybe with a small or big sale on the game price too. Almost all AAA games launch broken or unoptimized.
Pre-orders are bad for players and bad for devs. They're only good for publishers.
