Absolutely!
At one time, I believed the people who pre-ordered were just the kind of people who had to be the first on the block to do everything.
Then, after a while, I realized that @Gulfwulf and I only have one outlet for entertainment and if we know a company and we know we’re going to play a title, we can buy things at full retail price just because we don’t want to wait until the price comes down to be able to play.
If PC gaming was just one of many hobbies, we would have to compromise with our entertainment budget, but it is our only hobby. As such, we have to do our research. We have to have the right hardware, we play in open betas, and we know what we like. We haven’t bought a single title that we’ve regretted buying at full price including season passes.
And this is including the fact we have to buy two of everything in order for us both to be able to play.
Now the people I don’t understand are those who feel they have to pre-order the deluxe version and then get upset when they see the price drop. It’s a choice to buy full price and they all end up on sale eventually.
