Pre-orders for games to be released in several years isn't anything new. *Points to Duke Nukem* Personally I don't put money down until it's closer to actual confirmed release date.
Companies make the call on that, not the developers unfortunately. Generally it's good to have a deadline that way people know when to get things, but the rate that they're not debugging while in development is troubling. I have a feeling that the industry is intentionally not expanding on more...

Definitely. You can mod and get creative with them in ways you can't with console versions. However the issue about ports is that sometimes if they're made for console first, the controls in the PC versions are messed up, ect. Racing games/fighting games and whatnot tend to be more fun on a...
