I pre loaded it on steam thinking it would unlock at midnight but I checked and it says it wont unlock for aproximately 16 hours? I have never pre loaded a game on steam before so I was just wondering why this is?

@xxchadxxchad: Usually games used to always come out at midnight but now things have seem to changed. Pretty much no upcoming games have midnight releases, it's a real bummer. Midnight releases were fun.

Do you know what year it is grandpa? Spoilers: it's 2014. Nearly all games are similar in size.

Not really, but whatever you say.

It's probably that stupid notion of developers when porting that they need to have all the audio uncompressed for some reason. Idiotic.

Perhaps it's a timezone conflict?

They don't want you to have it before it "officially" releases wherever you live? I don't know.

After how many times Steam has shit on me by not releasing at midnight I've stopped planning around it. Sucks, but what are you gonna' do?
