This is a Steam issue which will be resolved shortly.

Not long now...

Kind regards,

Damn Europe got the shaft.

Sad.......

thats bad luck guys

I already knew this so not really much of let down for me.

I probably wont have time to play until 2 weeks after release anyway.

That takes the piss, down with steam!

Not that I care at all because I wont buy any games from Steam and I wont buy NTW either, but why the hell do they have 2 different dates on STEAM? Why not just let everyone get it the same day? Are they retarded?

Steam has nothing to do with the release dates. It's all CA's choice. And the reason being that CA decides to release it at different times is due to shipping time different countries get the copies at different times. Obviously steam can sell the game instantly due to the fact that it does not contain anything that needs to be physically moved.(with the exceptance of electricity ) So many physical game stores have statet that they will boycot any game sold through steam if steam was allowed to sell the game earlier. Get your facts straight before you start calling people retards.

You can.

Unwritten rule in Steam: just submit a Steam Support question and they have to refund your pre-order unless the activation date has past (they only do it because they legally have to - dubious that they don't mention it IMO).

Then you can get it mail order / retail for cheaper and install it from disk, saving yourself loads of time.

Whats with the Americans getting their games earlier then Europeans????
I had this same thing with Aliens vs. Predator. North America was able to play it 2 days earlier.

I dont understand why developers dont release games globally at the same time.....why ?!?!

meh, 3 days makes no difference to me.

So many other new games recently released to keep me entertained for now.

Congrats CA...
Friday now..

Are you guys really not getting the game cause some employee at Steam ed up the release dates and got your hopes up for 6 hours? The game was always set to release on the 26th for Europe.

How do you up something that has been there correctly for months? If they only typed out the release date today, fine. But changing it back and forth, now that's diabolic.
