Honestly, if the idea of no trials don’t bother you, there are plenty more reminders why YOU shouldn’t preorder.

Worst is, “buying” digital games off a store/launcher doesn’t mean you own it.

You can move your games to a different folder, the storefront won’t be able to remove them. But that requires you to download all your games and keep them stored somewhere.

I have a few games I do that with.

Technically you didn’t own the games you bought on physical media, either.

But you own the physical media it’s on, meaning the “license” to own it can be traded, sold, etc.
