The word you're looking for is "Millenial Writing"Yeah I hope this shit trend dies with this decade reaching its mid-point. I've heard people describe that quirky chungus Whedon-esque style of writing endemic of Marvel movies (and every piece of media that apes Marvel movies) as irony poisoned, but I just think it's infantile. Childish goo goo gaga-tier fucking garbage written by troons and manchildren who are as immature as they are unimaginative. These dinguses went on strike when they should've spent that time becoming more worldly.

This, the only time I ever pre-ordered was if I got something neat in either physical or digital format. Physical is obvious, as far as digital goes COD used to give out exclusive camos that nobody else would get(Rainbow Camo one in Ghosts had me being accused of hacking on more than one occasion due to how rare it is), New Vegas aside from the neat LE swag gave me the Vault 13 pack before all the pre order bonuses were bunched together into a DLC anyone could buy, and I believe there were many Gen 7 games where their was content forever locked behind a finite amount of codes you could get from pre-orders. Content that is impossible to play on new copies or accounts today.Preorder should be boutique physical purchases only, meaning if you want the artbook you can at least jump your ass down to the mailbox to get it. Slap another 20% upcharge on it and use the excess to pay for a QA period that lasts longer than a week.
If you give me something exclusive like that or a neat little physical trinket? Sure, I will pre order, otherwise it's down to the Pirate Bay or a third party reseller for me.
