Hello,

why PC User cant activate Skyrim today? Console players enjoy the Game already (XBOX) and PC User have to wait to tomoworrow! Thats not fair pls enable it today.

Vassa

Aussies already have it, time zones are a pain I know

Just imagine if they went with local mid night unlock for your timezone

The release date is 11/11/11. Stores are breaking the street date.

You can activate it at midnight YOUR time.

Welcome to the world, a place where life is rarely fair, I'm happy for those who got there game early, I'll be enjoying mine in just a little under 7 hours from now.

incorrect, depends on is location, if I got skyrim it would unlock today at 11pm

Incorrect, Steam is unlocking just after midnight for EACH individual time zone.

I think your game unlocks early tonight, which is the 11th.

no America all of it unlocks at 12am est

so if you live west of that you get it the 10th

Steam is totally [censored] worthless, the crackers have already beat official unlock time.

I'm using this time to sleep. I've set my alarm to 23:55. Here's to hoping that I just shut my eyes and open them again when Skyrim is activated with it feeling like no time has passed at all.

Well, like I said to the other guy who attempted to argue this with me, I'm in the UK and my Steam is currently stating the game will unlock in approx 7 hours, my current time is 5:30pm

Australians are from the future....Explains the accent.

Well, I guess if you understood his post you'd realize he isn't talking about you since you do live in the UK.

That is just you then. I live in Arizona, and will be receiving the game at 10 PM, on the 10th, according to steam.

It is US specific does not effect UK never said it did which is why I added pending on YOUR timezone you can get it prior to midnight

If I got the game I would be able to play today at 10th its been confirmed and that's what various SS's of steam says it unlocks

Then I appologize and stand corrected, I truly believed they were unlocking at midnight for each time zone.

It still svcks. As nice as the whole 11.11.11 campaign was, it leads to situations like this where a whole lot of customers get annoyed because other people get the game before they do - can experience it, talk about it. Hell, even these damn forums are treating the game like it's launched now, but it isn't for me. Are they deleting gameplay posts from nom-Australians? I think not!

In an age of 'instant communication' it's ludicrous to have staggered (local) launch times. We've known this for years - hell, we do product launches a few times a year, and they are truly global - all at the same instant, regardless of what time it is in a given area. Sure, it means that some people are up early, some up late, but everyone gets the launch at the exact same moment. A simple thing that avoids this kind of 11th hour frustration on the part of what must be a huge percentage of their pre-order base.

The real shame is that it just turns anticipation into frustration. You get people going into the game annoyed, rather than happy.
If they were smart and paying attention, they'd call Steam up and say, "Let 'er rip!".

Question is, are they listening to these forums, or should everyone start tweeting their a**es off?

Just like Mad MAX!!!

Oh and yes, this type of launch is just meh - even pirates have it now. Do a world wide launch and/or put a lock on consoles.

That's what they said originally but it was changed to regions later with several time zones lumped together.

Skyrim unlocks at 9 pm today (the 10th) for me... because im on the west coast.

Well, on the bright side. maybe this will turn then off steam only next game. The only PC game thing I love more than I loathe steam is TES so they barely won out .

I am getting confused now. I read a tweet from Pete Hines posted today it unlocks for everyone else midnight GMT 1 which would mean for me it would unlock at 6 PM instead of 11 PM. Steam still say 11 hours.

Yeah kinda not fair that people are already playing it and we have to wait. Kind of sitting here watching peoples let's plays from people who already got the game since I can't help it. Grr.
Unlock it! :<
I remember another game that got unlocked super early because of some reason...Don't remember which game it was.

Lol why are people so foolish?

Bethesda sets the release date and time, Steam follows.

Youre saying they would stop using Steam because (you think) Bethesda made a wrong decision when it comes to the release schedule? Be more delusional please..
