Because, clearly, no one has ever waited in a line prior to a product launch or some sort of release.
Good grief, the condescension on FR is getting unbearable.
It's a game. A video game.
....and no, I've never stood in line for a product launch or a release. Especially not for a GAME. I'm not saying I haven't wasted hours of time doing odd things (Freeping etc...) but just to wait in line to spend my money on something that I could get in a week with no hassle, I'm just thinking they are rather foolish.
But it's a free country and if they want to occupy their time waiting in lines for a GAME..... a video game.... well good for them. It's their right to wait in line if they want.
I'm getting tired of it as well.
