    People do all the time and it makes no sense to me.

    I assume it’s people who are highly motivated by hype and the community conversation to play something while it’s in the zeitgeist, the same as people who want to skip stuff to play story games that are direct narrative sequels without bothering to play anything before it, presumably just because it’s popular and catches their eye.

    Probably the same drive that keeps pre-orders and day one sales so high, despite it pretty much always being a better idea to wait a year or so for sales/updates/etc.
