You want us to preorder.........already?

[quote]Destiny awaits. Visit DestinyTheGame.com to check out your options for pre-order. There are even some exclusive incentives available now to reward the first players who reserve their copy of the game.[/quote] I can imagine the fact that this post isn't going to be very well-liked, but I'm going to post it anyway, because I'm stubborn like that. Destiny has officially been announced, and is already available for preorder. This is something I find fairly interesting, considering the fact that the game's release date hasn't actually been announced and very little is really known about it. Why then is it already available for preorder, along with a poster and some unnamed incentives? People who are preordering this game literally have no idea when it comes out, no idea what the incentives are (except for the poster), and very little information on the game itself. And incentives? Really? Why is this even a thing? A player who buys the game a few weeks later and is informed about the game should evidently not be as rewarded as a player who blindly shoves their money into the game. I know, you think Destiny will be amazing, you have a lot of faith in Bungie, and all that. I've preordered games before. I preordered Halo: Reach and I preordered Halo 4. The latter was definitely a mistake. At least I didn't preorder Aliens: Colonial Marines like so many others did. And the people who preordered that game knew more about it then we know about Destiny now (although much of, if not all of, the demo footage they saw wasn't even in the actual game). My point is this: patience is a virtue. I know it's a cool idea to be brave, but don't be foolhardy. Mkay?

  • Contrary to popular belief, it takes a lot of money to produce a game. A game developer needs to pay salaries and utilities during the lengthy production time as well as the cost of material for writing/packaging and shipping the game before sales. Now, this is why developers have producers, like Activision. They supply capital and resources to allow the studio to make money. This is also why they take a large chunk out of the revenue of sales. Preorders, like this one, help mitigate the costs to the producers, which allows Bungie to pocket a greater percentage of the money.
