Honestly, if the idea of no trials don’t bother you, there are plenty more reminders why YOU shouldn’t preorder.

There is no buying games anymore. You rent them now until the servers are down or Microsoft makes a new windows version.

The exception to this is GOG -- They, and publishers/developers that release on their store, should be supported whenever possible.

Not perfect, but miles above the alternatives.
