Well, yes, that is the point of preordering.
Maybe it's just me, but over here pre-ordering usually includes only charging your credit card/bank account/whatever when the product actually ships...
Not always, World of Goo pre-ordering charges your credit card right away, and that's surely NOT a scam.
Yeah, pre-ordering of online products actually tends to charge money when you order, not when it ships. And pre-ordering of in-store products tends to charge a small deposit when you reserve the copy, then the rest of the money when you pick it up.
Anyways, A Fool and His Money is not a scam, you're just biased because of the name, and clearly are NOT a True Believer. In fact, he's almost done fixing a nasty, nasty bug, then he will be able to ship it out to everybody. Besides, even if he never finished the game, people still get their name on a list, and "
Jokes delivered to their doorstep"
for as long as it takes for him to finish it.
