The only game I preordered was Monster Hunter Rise. They offered a demo that I played longer than most games currently in my library and it was polished and showed no performance issues. It showed me that it was the game I wanted it to be. So I nabbed it for a preorder discount deal from a 3rd party, legit storefront to save some cash. And it was my favorite of the series and my most played individual title. Maybe that’s all rationalization of something I still shouldn’t have done, but if you are discerning, it works.
