Quoted from dgpinball:All you pre-order bashers do realize that if it wasn't for that system, chances are very good that WOZ, The Hobbit, and JJP would not exist, therefore no Pat Lawlor game either.
The problem is people view pre-orders with JJP to be the same as pre-orders with all the other people that clearly from the start had no ducks in line. I think the pre-order model still works with JJP, despite them saying they are not doing it any more. I wonder if it truly will be the end of it.
