Early access is different tho...
Because you know what you're getting, others who already have it are able to post reviews.
A preorder is just giving them money early for zero reason.
For example, I knew I was getting BG3 no matter what. And I know I habitually restart act 1 of RPGs multiple times before picking what I want. So having a chance to run thru (a limited) act 1 a bunch over a year before release was worth it to me.
But there's no way I'd have just pre-ordered it, there'd be no reason to pay before I got the product.
