If I can, I try to get my pre-orders through Best Buy's in-store pickup, which means I can simply walk in the store and pickup my order. It's essentially the same as going in and buying the game on launch day, except I'm guaranteed a copy that I've already paid for. If I don't pre-order, there's a chance the store either won't get any copies by release day or they may sell out of them by the time I get there after work.
Also, try as I might, there's been several times where I haven't been able to get a copy from Best Buy for one reason or another. That leaves Amazon as my only choice. So, in that case, pre-ordering means I'll get my package on launch day, typically in the early afternoon.
So, for me, it's less about the pre-order bonuses and more about the logistics. I want to play a game on the day it comes out. I've usually planned to have free time specifically to play the game on release. So pre-ordering means I spend less time looking for a copy of a game I already know 100% that I'll enjoy and more time actually playing the game.

This makes sense, you get physical copies! I haven't purchased a physical copy in so long it didn't even occur to me. Thanks for the explanation.
-
Honestly, if I can, I always get physical. If I buy a digital copy, there's no guarantee that the store I bought it from won't take it back or something like that.

Where the heck are you buying physical PC games? I haven't seen that on over ten years at least.
-
I said I hardly ever buy PC games.
If I'm interested in a PC-only game, I check GOG first, then I check Steam. I will rarely ever pre-order a PC game.
Edit: Also, I appreciate the (probably unintentional) Attack on Titan reference.
ten years at least.
If you haven't seen the show, don't look it up. It's a spoiler.

How many non PC games have denuvo on them?
-
OP didn't mention games that have Denuvo in them. They simply mentioned pre-ordering games.
And before anyone says this is a post about Denuvo, OP's comment was phrased in such a way that it could sound like, "Why would anyone pre-order games in the first place in 2024, regardless of whether or not it has Denuvo?"

They still sell physical copies of games? TIL
-
Yeah, it's still pretty common for big publishers to sell their games physically. Games from smaller devs that self-publish are usually only sold digitally, though they can sometimes end up getting published physically later on if they get popular enough.
Edit: Or were you talking about Best Buy and Amazon selling physical games?
