I... What? I have no such feelings. That's how preordering should be, getting your games on time. I'm hating on my own country and its stupid ways of handling things. We, as in Europe, are getting screwed over super hard with Evil Within, too. They release the game a week early in US, then a few days later in Australia and then there's the bastard child Europe who got their release date 3 days earlier than expected. That being Saturday. This means that if you don't live in a big city area you ain't getting the game any earlier anyway, possibly even later.
What I meant with favoritism is these popular people who get to play the games early just because. Review copies are understandable but this is just irritating.
And as for the spoilers, I have no idea how you manage to get past them so slickly. Even if I stopped using the internet altogether until I got the game there is a high chance I'll get spoiled by one of my friends because they watch these people and can't keep their mouths shut.
Most of my friends know if they spoil a game for me it's gonna get them hit in the face. especially if they know it's a game I'm planning to review for my fanpage. In all serious though, I just use sources that don't rely on spoilers to talk about news unless the new is specifically a spoiler. As for my friends, they simply just respect that I plan to review every game I buy for my fanpage so they don't ruin it for me.
As for a response for PDP as well, he may not take the payouts but he still manages to make around 4 million a year, which I'm actually okay with because he's helped raise over a million dollars in charity, often putting his own money in at the start to encourage others to do the same.

How do you know he isn't taking the payments? He is taking the games after all. In any case, this has nothing to do with how much he earns anyway. Which, by the way, isn't even that full 4 million since a lot of that is cut due to taxes and partner deals and google and whatnot.
