I will preorder the next From Software and that’s about it. They have never failed to deliver a quality product and I have purchased every one of their games since Armored Core 1 in 1997.
Everyone else - nah.
There is something to be said for the experience of many people playing through a game for the first time and shared experiences. The fact that the answers to your question don’t exist anywhere. You can’t Google the solution to a puzzle, or the cheese to this boss.

Honestly folks should just never pre-order. In the era of digital goods there’s no selling out the whole stock so there’s no rush to get in front of.

Pre ordering AAA games is always a dumb idea though.
