People, please stop preordering games.. Nothing good ever comes out of it.
I understand the temptation, I'm a huge ****ing DX fanboy but just don't.
Why? You can always get a refund...

You're giving the developers money for a product that is not finished yet. While this doesn't sound particularly bad at first glance, you're reinforcing a trend where hype is more important than a polished product.
Refunds help against this, yes, but it encourages big post-release patches, which again isn't a good thing. The studio sees the refunds going through and starts working on the game again. IF the refunds come through. In many cases the game isn't broken enough to receive massive amounts of refunds, but still broken when it could've been better.
When I buy a game at launch day I expect it to be complete and not download a huge patch the next day.
Examples are No Man's Sky, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, Watch_dogs, AC:U and dozens of others especially coming from Ubisoft.
I ain't saying Square Enix in particular are scummy devs, far from it actually. They've released good and finished games but I wouldn't give them money on the 'promise' of a good game. Even if chances are that Deus Ex will be pretty damn good.

Normally I'd agree with you 100%. Hell the last time I bought a brand new game was Mass Effect 3.
But Deus Ex is probably the one game this year that is on my must play list and I trust Eidos Montreal enough to not f*$k it up spectacularly so I'm willing to hand over my money a week before the game releases.
