    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.
