Pre-orders when you were buying physical copies of a game was, at the very least, a way to secure a copy that may be our of stock for weeks or months after and avoid scalpers. It only made sense to do it on games that you were really hyped about and you know everyone else is hyped about too. Pre-ordering a digital copy of a game is just asinine.
