Preordering has advantages. When you live in a shithole country like me, you know that release prices can be a double or even triple of preorder price, because of your currency losing its worth so much, nearly everyday. So you are going to have to take that risk.

I see. That's a niche in which it can have a financial benefit then.

Doesn't apply to most markets I'd wager.

I think in that situation I'd probably sit it out and pirate. Wait for the price to drop/stabilize if you really want a license.

Pirating is not an option I think if you are using Linux like me. Waiting most of the time means more expensive price, not drop/stabilize. Btw I am just commenting to give you a new perspective I didn't preorder it :)

No i gotcha, it totally makes sense from that point of view.

Had no clue linux piracy was more difficult.

A lot of cracks just straight up don't work on linux, unfortunately.
