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).

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).

And Steam will make sure it stays locked until July 19th.

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.

COD was obviously delayed in the west by the Publishers/Developers. The funds garnered by the Eastern release enabled further work to been done on COD to avoid some of the negative publicity generated by the early release in the east. This is great news for the community as it strongly suggests that COD will be supported for the long term.

I didn't experience any region lock when I purchaced the collectors edition from a friend in England. COD loaded thru Steam in Canada with no problem.

Could be that Steam is waiting to get full price on IL-2 CoD?
They charge 49.99 Euro in Europe, and with todays exchange, it will be 70 US$.

I don't think anyone at 1 C can tell the truth ,just a bunch of liars

it's all blame UBI and maybe that is still true but at least 1 C can post some info on the North American release which now seems to have a very vague release date
