It's wrong to lock betas behind pre-orders.
Ding Ding Ding
If the beta doesn't interests him then there's nothing wrong cancelling the game.

Yes it's wrong, it's meant as a thank you for loyal fans.
Preordering just to get the preorder bonus and then cancel is akin to jumping the queue.

What? How is that comparable to getting a Beta key for free?No. Fuck companies and their bullshit
It would be very much ok to scan amiibo at stores (if it were possible), for example.

I'm not "caping up" for anyone, but nice try.Gamers cape up for corporations faster than anyone I've ever seen.

Because nowadays most betas are just glorified demos. These so called betas often occur so late in the development cycle of a product that you can't honestly believe to think that they're still betas.
Demos died, betas rose.
And to lock demos behind preordering is just bullshit.
I'm pretty interested to hear why people feel this way? You're not entitled to beta access.
With that said, I don't have a problem with the original prop. The trade is beta access for a pre-order not an outright purchase
Yes it is wrong because the place you are ordering from has to pay for the copies, if they get enough people cancelling then they lose money.
However tt's also wrong to lock betas behind pre-orders so hopefully if enough people keep pre-ordering and then cancel the orders stores will stop stocking them as pre-orders and developers will stop having them as incentives.
This worked for me with Amazon a couple of times, is it a shitty thing to do?
