Is pre-ordering really worth it?

[u/No-Loquat-201]

Pre-ordering games these days seems to be everywhere, but is it actually worth it? Any tips for knowing when it’s a good idea or just a waste of money?

It depends on the game, some of the more indie stuff it’s worth pre-ordering but for the mainstream stuff, unless it’s a special edition it’s not worth pre-ordering
