Can't believe nobody thought to post 'Two Weeks' when it finally (probably) is actually 'Two Weeks.' Must be all this breast beating about DRMs and Steam and being able to boil a kettle on the cpu if you fly over Kent.
Two Weeks. |

Either gold status info by Oleg today or the game is delayed.

May I ask something that sounds a bit silly? Sometimes I read about games "Going Gold". What exactly does it mean when a game "goes gold"?

The application is 100% "bugs free" and is ready to be published.

Actuall it refers to the pressing of a gold plated master from back in the days of those non-digital frisbees we called "LPs" or "Records". this gold master would be the template for all the reproduction vinyl records.
It carried over from the music industry to the software industry and indicates that no more revisions are being made before all the retail release DVDs are burned. |

If that was true, no software would ever go gold. ![]() The term "Gold" is from the Master-Media that is used for mass-production. When this master is ready the CD/DVDs are being mass produced. The term is largely outdated in the days of downloadable content and beyond that, the production-cylcle of 2-3 weeks was also minimized due to better manufacturing methods, less production-failures and faster transportation. |

Everything except official statements about the delay is pure speculation.
Hopefully we will know more in todays update, provided there is one. Two weeks, be sure! ![]()

I think that's why "bug free" was in quotes.
