I hate being told what to do, so if that's what they were trying to pull then screw them. But from argument's sake they have a point. I don't think they are being threatening or a jerk, they are just speaking from experience. We have so many games these days that don't turn out well because everyone preorders. If a game came out in the state of say, No Man's Sky and you couldn't buy it till day one, no one would have bought it and they would have been forced to either have made it good beforehand or released some major changes to get people to buy, whereas when you receive more than the development cost before you even release the game, where is the incentive to keep pushing out quality games? Not saying many companies don't, but just as a concept, I think that's what people are saying here, and I think they have a good point. I like to wait till a game comes out, wait for user reviews, and then make an informed decision about my purchase. But that's just my two cents, and if you wanna keep preordering (if that's something you do) then you go ahead, its fine.
