Tom Henderson: Assassin's Creed Shadows pre-orders are looking very strong. I don't have the exact numbers yet, but no one in the know is disappointed with them.

Pre ordering a digital game just to eventually play it earlier? Okay if you have really hard confidence in the product and team

Pre ordering a fucking UBIOlSOFT game? Fucking gamers are fucking terrible.

Did they expect zero preorders and got five?

EDIT: Actually, the fact that they have to even say this tells me this is massive damage control for investors. Ubis stock dropped like a rock in the EU market the second the market opened after the trailer dropped.
