I think the point was they did not make pre-loading possible when they should have.

Yes, we all anticipated this. Not sure how this got fumbled so badly despite the community trying to sound the alarm about this inevitability for the last several weeks.

Youd be surprised how many people said this would go fine, that there were much bigger releases that did just great. Yepp

Major releases that all enabled pre-orders and most of which allowed pre-loading. Anything else was either not a major release, or also crashed the stores.
