EDIT: Yes, they did it.

Sorry to say but people who already downloaded it can atleast play it via offline mode. Sucks for people who bought the game from somewhere else or later though... i wonder if the guy who opened the early access got fired lol...

Well, I tried and I can't. When I started in offline mode, the game disappeared from list, and did not return after going online again. Also, when I try to start kb.exe in offline mode steam says that the game "is not ready to be played in offline mode", and when I try to start it in online mode then steam takes me to the store page. It's okay with me, as long as it will be available on the day of premiere.

I don't believe they fired the guy responsible for it, if they fired these guys every time that happens they would be seriously understaffed by now

I guess you were online when it applied some update... i also think that if i go online i can't play anymore (it propably updates so that u cant play anymore) so my plan is to be offline until 17th and then see what happens.

If you can stay offline for so long, then it would be better and safer to do so. My problems with installing Crossworlds earlier today were also caused by Steam updating files (it was updating original KBAP and downloading Crossworlds simultaneously, and I had to validate twice). Because both games share the same data, and steam guys messed badly, it seems the updated KBAP is ciphered. I suppose that it would be enough to validate it (validation compares checksums and redownloads files deemed invalid), because they've probably fixed that by now, or will do it quickly, but I'll wait. That's enough fun for today, hehe.

Well, as long as Steam can disable the game now I guess it's okay. There's nothing more annoying than starting to see new threads pop up about playing Crossworlds from people who are obviously playing already.

This is why I trust Gamersgate much more than I do Steam.

Like megakill said, it probably doesn't help the crisis any that this happened so close to the weekend, or for the russians perhaps on the weekend, but I imagine that fingers will be pointed and that heads will roll.

In that way I really hope it was Steam that F'ed it up, that way the 1c/katauri guys can get compensated and don't have to punish their own people.

Also, would it be in bad taste of me to ask whether anyone has been able to raise their Adrenaline level past 2 in the Orcs on the March campaign? It seems it gets rooted at level 2, maybe you need spells or something.
