Not them, but pre-loading a game so I can play it when I get off work is great

Buy it a day or so in advance if early reviews look good on top of the other signs (known good developer for example), install, be ready to game when I get home without waiting

Or, sometimes, if I know I'm gonna get it even if it's bad (3arch cod games, I'm a zombies addict even when it's not great) I'll pre-order on a paycheck earlier in the year so the one the game comes out in has more money for enjoying the game when that time comes (snacks, weed... That's most of it tbh)

I do it fully aware that if/when a game is shite it's entirely my own fault, I don't pretend otherwise at least
