I agree that it's a bad idea to preorder or pay extra, especially with Ubisoft. However, following that logic they are basically preying on people new to the hobby, which sucks and deserves to be called out.

Do people new to the hobby preorder games? I'm genuinely curious, since I don't know anyone new to it.

Excited teenagers definitely would. Honestly, I bet anyone that sees the marketing for a game they're excited for and hasnt been burned before in that way is a prime candidate for preordering.

I would have figured people new to the hobby would go to used game stores first, then new game sections of regular retail stores.. maybe swap those around.

I don’t even know that many long-term gamers who preorder..? They might pick it up on launch day but.. typically not preorder.
