Ahem.... SPORE?

Bioshock? Others will probably follow sheep-like, if they think this somehow may help combat piracy :rolleyes:

(whilst they lose further sales, due to p***ing off loyal customers)

I thought I may as well pre-order this one. Hopefully it will be better than the first.

Steams been updated and it now says the 18th as a world wide release date... is this a Steam only offer, or has the game been brought forward to the 18th? :confused:

mrk · 16 Sep 2008 at 18:40

It's always said the 18th as worlwide.

Nope, said 19th Worldwide, 18th US up until today. Same as current hard copy release dates.

Nope, I have been checking it every day this week since I pre-purchased and it's always been 17th US 18th worldwide.

To be fair though they did release a revoke tool for Bioshock and I think eventually patched it out(?)

When it's out.

Helios1234 · 16 Sep 2008 at 21:21

Don't they normally allow us to preload before hand though and then all you have to do is unlock it when it's out?

HeX · 17 Sep 2008 at 08:23

Not always, its down to the publisher to decide that.

It really does need a pre-load tho, i'm not looking forward to grabbing 15GB tomorrow, i'm going to be throttled like mad by Virgin

Isn't it down to the developer? Do EA actually have anything to do with the game on Steam?

The publishers have everything to do with whether or not the games are on Steam, and terms of such.

I cant see why these game publishers have to have this copy protection crap on it. Im all for anti piracy and all that, but why cant they utilise a system where after 3 installs, you have to re-activate the game. They need the same activation system as windows xp and vista.

TBH they are always rubbish for pre-orders, back in the day when they were smaller and new on the scene they were awesome, I remember recieving games upto 2 days before the official release, but now the last 3 pre-orders i've had from them have always arived the day after the official release date. Shambles really, I only still use them because they are so cheap.
