    Default Clarification of Release Date Please

    I am very excited about the upcoming release of Napoleon: Total War. But, I am confused. Now I live in the United States and on Steam it says the release date is February 23, 2010. But as I go through the forums I'm seeing dates like the 26th, the 19th, the 27th, etc. If someone could give me a simple release date for the United States that would be wonderful. Thanks.

    Should be the 23rd around this time of the day, apparently.

    It's unfair that even though some get the game earlier that they still have to wait for steam to activate it.
    By the way, what if steam ever gets broke or goes bankrupt? Will we still be able to play the game?

    Wont happen, the demand for digital distribution channels is only increasing, so expect to be "stuck" with Steam for a looong time.

    On the other hand, should it go belly up, they would release patches to let people access their games without having to access Steam.

    Waiting for Steam gives everyone a level playing ground and stops people from benefiting from shops shipping and selling early. I think it's very fair!

    Anyone know what time of day it will be released? Can I go to bed and leave Steam running and wake up ready to play?

    Im not what you'd call a Steam "veteran", but i did buy Mass Effect 2, and they allowed pre-loading at least a day before it actually released.

    Not quite sure how it works if you buy a boxed version, i did with ETW, but cant remember how the install procedure went

    The Steam release date changed from February 26th, 2010 to simply February, 2010. Or was it like this for a while?

    Reads :

    Available: 26 February 2010
    This game will unlock in approximately 1 week, and 14 hours


    For me.

    So you can buy it retail on the 23rd, preload it, and play it on the 26th.

    Pre-load is for digital purchases i believe.

    I know that i bought ETW before Steam unlocked it, but cannot remember how the installation procedure was. I think i was allowed to install it, but not play it (but then it was the huge 0-day patch, along with weeks of serious Steam crashing and allround problems, so my memory is a tad fuzzy on what happened where).
