Annoying release comment

[SirGrotius]

I just received the newest issue of PC gamer and they listed Crusader Kings's release date as April 1st, 2004. A cruel April Fool's joke, or are they on the right track?

Yep. I do hope that it doesn't take one full month from going gold to having it in my hands.

Ck looks really cool im gonna buy it cuz i buy anything PARADOX!

It usually do cuz the distributors have to make the lokalized versions with their logo, printet manual, etc.
but if you order direct I don't know...

 

[unmerged(15830)]

maybe a "pre-release" would be the final argument to order directly?

The final argument for me is going to be the gold announcement. When I see that I will order directly from Paradox, and wait.

Vicky went from gold to delivery in about 2 weeks IIRC... let's hope for that.

 

[Earl Uhtred]

Well I don't have a credit card (or indeed any money) so it'll be SP again for me.

wasnt it out faster because of an early pirate release tho?

Indeed, let's hope. I have spare time for computer games in March, but much less in April.

 

[Orm]

Yes, but let's not hope for that development. I think Vicky was out after like 10 days, which I think was a few days earlier than planned. I also seem to remember HoI being out something like 2 weeks after going gold.

yes it was pirated and a few people even posted on the forums for help before it was officially released. Hopefully that dosent happen with CK.

No it isn't, it's still late February....

 

[Snall]

I remember that, that was funny.

 

[unmerged(15830)]

there are three possibilities: you are either from kiribati, or you're still using the julian calendar, or youre thinking that february has 30 days just because it had 30 days in EU II ... in all cases, i pity you *g*

Possibility four: I have one of those kinetic watches (where the battery charges as you move), which I hadn't worn for a few days, and when I put it on this morning I didn't realize that that it was running a bit slow and still said it was yesterday....

Not that this helped any of us in Strategy Worst's market to get the game faster. *bitterness*

And when the Gold announcement hits, I'm whipping out the credit card and ordering direct from Sweden.


PS -- Can I get some Absolut directly from Sweden with that order?

It's probably more expensive in sweden than where you live...
