No, just no..
Pre-ordering is just pointless in every way, there is absolutly no reason to do it unless you REALLY want whatever extra crap you get with it. Usually these days you just get some sort of skin or a broken set of weapons, nothing really worth it imo.
Alpha testing is even worse though, as you kinda spoil the game for yourself so when it finally comes out you have already basically played it, just a very broken version of it.
I have yet to see a game with a significant ammount of new features once it goes from early access to release, mostly just bug fixes.
It just seems rather pointless and I am just not that impatient, I can wait.
Patience is something people seem to lack these days...
You know what I do want though? Demos! What the hell happened to those? It was the perfect way to check if you would like a game or not. Just fire up a free demo, play around for a while in a limmited section of the game to get a feel and bam, you knew basically what to expect of it.
