What's going on with this delay, of another month they can't come to an agreement? or what?

Its going to hurt your sales if this keeps up.

I see Steam took the COD forums down now its just IL2.

And now I can't purchase this over seas they ended that.

I bought it from GetGames and now I can't use it because the Credit cards are USA and so thats preventing selling it to me.

Ubi$oft made it region specific thats a bunch a crap soon you wont be able to by anything because of this business practice.

I agree that it's frustrating, but locking regions out has probably been done to ensure that Ubisoft gets the $$ for all North American region sales (which I suppose is fair, but annoying).

Not steam's fault, they dont decide the launch dates, its either the devs or ubi and its because the game they are selling is not what it is advertised as.

And region locking has been going on since... pretty much the start of gaming?

If anything its easier to purchase games from overseas today then its ever been. And I don't really see what steam has to do with this, its purely up to the publisher to decide the release date, which is Ubi.

Get it from Just Flight. Did it a week ago.

Those guys must be making a fortune (by the standards of aviation simulation, of course).

Sorry for saying so, but seeing the number of computer illiterate complaints (as in "it never occurred to me to ever test how something works, so i'll just call it a bug because it's different than what i'm used to from IL:1946") and the actual, real issues of the sim during the European release, i think this is for the best.

I mean no offense to you Mastiff and i know you've been around a long time, this is not directed at you. What i'm trying to say is that releasing it into a market of a few hundred million before some basic stuff are fixed and some cryptic features properly documented will inundate the boards with cries of "tar and pitchforks" all over again.

For example, due to the complexity of the aircraft models there's a whole lot of stuff people think are bugs which are actually realistic limitations and features, took us all over on this side of the pond the better part of a month figuring most of it out and apart from the forums, they are not documented anywhere else.

I too prefer to get an early peek at a beta release because i like tinkering with stuff and in that regard, i completely understand your impatience: "better to have it today and work with what's there than having to wait until everything is perfect" and all that.

In the grand scale of things however, it would generate a lot of bad press if it was released in its current state, even though it's much improved from the barely playable version i installed a month ago.
