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

I miss the age of videogame demos, it feels like nothing but a distant memory now. And the only reason companies let people play their broken betas now is to gauge excitement for their games and fix any serious game breaking bugs.

Fuck the corps. That's what piracy is for.

Pirating big games is probably morally fine. Pirating indie games is shitty, like stealing from a local business.

He is not talking about actual piracy though. Piracy for try-before-you-buy's sake is even more morally fine.
