Can’t use the word “buy” if you can’t actually buy the thing.

      You’re preordering your bytes, duh! It’s well known that companies run out of bytes when there’s massive demand and have to order more from the byte farms. If you don’t preorder this, the company might not have enough bytes for you and your download could have to wait a long time until they replenish byte stock!

      If it’s anything like Forza Horizon 6, they are reserving the ability to play the game five days before everybody else.

      I assume the standard “I didn’t wait to see the reviews” cosmetic that all pre-orders seem to give people these days

      The ability to have it all downloaded and ready to go at launch, I guess. Wouldn’t be so bad if the price weren’t raised out of blatant greed while simultaneously removing the option to get a sellable license via a disc.
