**Official Portal 2 thread**

what extra money?

i don't think one person here has bought the pack to try an get portal 2 early but because they were cheap and fun games.
 
Im all killing floored out.... im taking a break from gaming till tomorrow.

Most percentage of people now have given up and not completing the challenges, and have realised that unless Valve do something really clever it will released tomorrow.

I think Valve owe us a teaser for EP3 at least!!!
 
What's the point in this launch countdown thing? By the looks of it now it's going to be out around 9am Tuesday morning, which is actually later than I expected.

It's no-one's fault that you expected it to be then. The release was always scheduled for 3pm on Tuesday.

So what has playing these games and getting potatoes achieved? Nothing?

The more gained, the more games played, the earlier the release time. Release time is currently 9am tomorrow, though it will be earlier than that, I imagine. Maybe 8am or 7am.

Everyone, be very careful about where you go on the internet today, spoilers will be everywhere. Take a leaf out of his book:

notch Markus Persson
I am afraid of spoilers, so I won't go online again until I've received and beaten Portal 2. Wish me luck. =D

Tbh guys this was a market gimmick, they were never going to release the game earlier than tuesday, it was to get people to spend more money on potato sack with the assumption that the game would be released early "sunday/monday". It was quite interesting to see the event unfold especially friday evening nearly every killing floor server was full even the bigger ones that had 45-50 players online, it was totally insane. Understandibly people feel dissapointed at the same time it was enjoyable.

Tbh I've no sympathy for people that bought the potato pack solely on the premise that they'd get P2 early. Some peoples reactions to it seem to be "I bought it to play portal at the weekend". There was never any solid indication that a weekend release would have happened.

I'd think that almost everyone that bought potato games to actually participate in the ARG before an early release was even announced (or any reward other than potatos on their profile) have got something out of it just by playing the games.

Is it a marketing ploy to sell more games? Of course, an infant could see it. But if people spent money buying games without an intention of playing them just to unlock Portal a bit earlier, it's their own fault imo.

Just wait until Steam screws up on release and it ends up being delayed by an extra eight hours :p

Of course, that won't be Valve's fault but Steve's

Look on the bright side, if Steve delays it back to its original time, it means it won't be getting released at 1am Wednesday morning :p

But by then its already too late...
