Pre-ordering has been around since the very early days of gaming. Back in the day, the whole point of pre-ordering a game was to ensure that fans would receive a copy on launch day, but as the gaming industry has continued to grow with every passing year, pre-ordering a game has taken on a bit of a different purpose. Nowadays, most fans will only drop the cash on a pre-order if it comes with some kind of bonus, and that's a tactic publishers have been using for well over a decade now, enticing fans to purchase their games months in advance by offering some kind of exclusive merchandise, or in the case of games like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, some digital in-game goodies.
