Oh this is pretty old. Gaming companies have become more and more predatory with their pricing schemes over the past 20 years or so. So some people who still haven't gotten over the very existence of DLC still harp about not pre-ordering stuff. Their problem is twofold. The gaming community at large is the sort of person who spends money on games instead of I dunno going out. If you aren't spending money on drinks or airline tickets it turns out that this game's subscription, that other game's DLC pack, and so on do pack a lot of 'entertainment hour per dollar spent'.
