I often preorder games that I know are sure bets. I won’t preorder games that I’m not sure I’ll like or by a developer with a rocky reputation (Ubisoft, etc).
I love buying early access games. Many of the best games ever made spent a lengthy time in early access, and it was worth every penny. Some I’ve bought 2-3 times in early access on different platforms just to support the developers (Satisfactory, Factorio, Rimworld, Baldurs Gate 3). I just bought Satisfactory for the third time and it was worth it.
