It is also quite common for developers/publishers to see that copies are leaking and to tell steam to just unlock it a little early.
Tuesday is indeed a strange day to release it.

Still debating wether to get this via Steam or on my PS4.... Hmmm
It is a single player player game. If you can run it on your pc, surely it isn't even debatable?!

Probably didnt want it to coincide with the latest Call of Duty when the mindless drones are out buying that

Ohh i'm a mindless drone. Does that make you a mindless sheep?
Drones are much better than sheep.

Most games are released on a Tuesday in the good ol' US of A.
People say why not release it the Friday gone, they could release it next Friday and make you wait even longer like most games do.

Tuesday is a pretty standard release day for major new releases, and has been for a while. It's driven by US retail: Eurogamer article. Most major releases are on a Tuesday; Destiny, Halo series, COD series etc. That said Black Ops 3 recently had a global release date on a Friday so maybe a trend to re-look at US release dates.

Its got an Embargo on it till launch day for reviews, Thats whats putting me off really that usual always ends badly!

Just pre-ordered and preloaded through Steam, it's confusing me a little though.
In the title description it's got the release date as the 9th, but available from the 10th...

Safer, maybe, but less dirty? All they are doing is buying in bulk in countries where they are much cheaper and not taxed. Where do you think they are getting them?
You do know that GMG are an authorised reseller...right?
