Loosing the opportunity to refund the game to get a flashy skin and 2 days early access are a big NOP for me.

I agree but there is no benefit of preording the game. Wait the release date, buy it, try it for 2 hours, then refund it / keep it.

I second this. I did stop buying games as soon as possible when I had a child.It was like a 2 years gap in my life. I realised it was like living in a shifted timelapse :)

Now I only play 2 yo games, same for movies and series… It means I only keeps top quality stuff !
