22nd October - Why can I not play

Post » Wed Mar 30, 2011 6:21 am

Ok guys.

It's 22nd October and that is the UK release date.

I pre-ordered from Steam so why can I not play.

I didn't see any notification of a time on the 22nd that I would get the game I have paid for so where is it?

beyond the fact that It's ridiculous in this day and age that the game is released at a different time than the US than in Europe (way to encourage pirates and illegal downloads).

Where is my game?

Cheers for the replies.

Still think it is pathetic that the game is not release as published even if it is only an hour late.

Instead of the whiskey I will opt for vodka, wait and then [censored] again at 1 minute past 1am when it is still not released :)

Wow can't believe that 'name for female dog & slang anology for complaining is censored'

What other non swear words from the English language have been considered verbotten?

It is not late, the time that Gstaff quoted has always been 12:01 GMT which is 01:01 local in the UK (as we are still on BST for just over another week), 02:01 Paris etc.

I have 9 hours between my leaving tonight and coming back in for work... blah.

Shame I don't have to wait, I've already played (heck, I've modded)! Hehe.

Summer, I have no whiskey :(

You can have your choice of Sake or Absinthe though!

Cheers for the response, makes sense.

Considering "midnight releases" you'd expect it to be playable at midnight local time.

Either way it's now 10 minutes past midnight gmt and it's still "not released".

For a very short moment, I love you. Okay, play time.
