The hate flows strongly through you. Just because YOU didn't understand the valid argument form, Reductio Ad Absurdem, which you have obviously confused as a straw man, does nothing to invalidate its validity. You have not presented any evidence to refute my argument therefore you need no response other than dismissal.

Actually, you made an appeal to extremes, not a Reductio Ad Absurdum. You assumed that if someone were willing to spend $60 on a game, they would also be willing to spend $35K on a car. While absurd, this was not a proper Reductio argument. Do whatever you want with your money. But don't criticize the choices of others, or imagine that you're so much wiser than them. You think that Bungie made so many mistakes in Destiny that you need to reserve judgement before committing to buy the sequel- fine. Your choice. Others enjoyed the game just fine and based on that experience, expect D2 to be the same if not better. That's our choice. Thing is, most threads here (except this one) are of the nature "You're idiots if you preorder!" Nobody is going around criticizing people who DON'T preorder, except inasmuch as y'all keep blaming us for the death of the game industry and we keep saying "It wasn't us!" I think that's basically what the OP is saying; we're spending our own money, not yours, and it's nobody else's business.

It's valid. It fits the very definition of the logical form. The op posited fallaciously that those who don't preorder are either children, poor or stupid. He needed to be informed otherwise and judging by the number of likes, I'm not the only one opposed to pre-orders. I respect your position and agree 100% percent that you can spend your money how you see fit. However you won't convince me that giving a company an indication that your going to purchase their product when they have released no substantial details on the product is a good idea. I think it makes for lazy companies. Yes you can cancel your preorder but statistically speaking, once people have made a purchasing decision, they nearly always proceed even when having second thoughts. I just don't think it's wise to give that kind of power to a company for an unreleased product.
