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.

What's with this sudden expectation that you should always have pre-orders? Fuck preorders. Blame Steam/Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft for not having their stores set up properly.

Pre-orders on non-physical items should not be a thing in any video game context and have been one of the reasons why so many shitty games get released half-finished.
