Oh, no! They’ve fallen for the “don’t pre-order” hype!

Yeah, that might be more accurate. Most of what I was thinking was in terms of MMORPG PvP arenas, or something like Sea of Thieves when you have two ships that get locked in a prolonged battle. Having one really good player going against a group of semi-coordinated average players can be a lot of fun, too! Like everyone ganging up on the really good Smash player (and still losing against them).

When there is no challenge at all, that’s when it gets dull.

100% agree! Sure, it might be disappointing if you spend 15 minutes in an intense back and forth before eventually losing, but it feels good! If one side is going to absolutely dominate the other, though, at least let it be over quickly.

Is this not a generalization of sweeping generalizations?

Right? If what happens now is pre-open floodgates, I cannot imagine what it will be like once they open.
