LoTR Gollum system reqs out, prepare yourselves...

And people still preorder.
Its all about preordering wisely imo. To give an example, I've preordered Warhammer Roguetrader (on the basis that I loved Pathfinder 1 and 2), that preorder gets me beta access from June 1st right up until the moment of release. So potentially a few months of uninterrupted beta access. At any time in that period, I can get a full refund. So by preordering, I get unrestricted access to the whole of Act 1 of the game and every class. Sort of a fully unrestricted , very extended, demo. In terms of that particular title, there is literally no downside for me to my preorder but plenty to gain by being able to check the game out fully for a few months before making a decision to keep the game for release or opt for a full refund.
 
Every preorder encourages preorders. There must be no preorders.
I've got no problem with preorders which benefit me, which of course the Roguetrader one does. Preorders that have no benefit to them of course is a different kettle of fish but the Roguetrader one is full of benefit to me. Like most things in life, its rarely black and white.

To be honest, if every preorder used the Roguetrader system, that you can play it from preorder all the way up to release and can get a full refund at any time before release ( a deal which is actually a better one than the 2 hour steam refund incidentally) then I'd have no problem with any preorders at all, but all too often preorders have no such benefit
