Alright buddy, alright.The joke was towards Septy, who I infact talk to in skype and he was telling us about you lot getting all pent up because you actually like to pre order, the fact that you all turned this thread into a argument about Pre ordering and not pre ordering was the joke.
It seems you all got a little mad in here, that's not my problem. You want to pre-order, he's not stopping you, its just his opinion that its not a good idea.

when people talk about Gayming being more cancerous then the Flood, they mean shit like this.
By giving out your money before receiving a finished product you are telling the publisher that you will pay for their game regardless, and are only opening yourself up to a broken and/or bad product.
You gain nothing worthwhile from this.
If we have learned anything from Bungie, and its not clear that we have, its that reputation and history mean nothing when it comes to the quality of the next game.
Look at all of 2014 and you'll see plenty of shit games that were either broken or under-delivered.
Okay, well let's just have a discussion here. You seem more level-headed than Lemon and Septy.
I understand what you're trying to say here, but you have to give your money to the developer before you play the game, so no matter how things turn out, you're always giving your money up first before seeing if the game is finished or not.
You get to play the game ASAP, which is worthwhile for people that are megafans, like myself for MGS.
And Bungie will never get another dime from me. The only scenario I can see myself realistically playing their games is if I buy them used for less than half price. And absolutely no DLC, whatsoever. This is the same mindset I have with Ubisoft. For developers that consistently provide a complete game worth it's asking price, I'm willing to buy on release day (given that there isn't anything fishy going on, like review embargos or anything.) .
And keep in mind, I only plan on buying 2 games day-1 in 2015, and potentially the rest of the generation
But it's still okay to pre-order digitally. There are just certain conditions you should always be under (some of these are applicable to physical purchase as well, and will be marked with a "*"):
1: The pre-ordering will only be done within 3 days of the game's release.*2: The pre-ordering is used only to pre-load.3: There are multiple reviews already published, that indicate a successful, unbroken launch. If there are no reviews, this should be a sign that the publishers are aware of things wrong with their game and should be considered a red flag. DO NOT PRE-ORDER if this is the case.* (You shouldn't even be considering pre-ordering physical, under and circumstance).4: The pre-ordering is a rare occurrence. Things that you're a big fan of, like Halo, The Witcher, Pokemon, etc. You shouldn't be even considering pre-ordering unless you are a mega-fan.*
