Release date changed

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

Let's face it,the whole marketing of this game has so far been a complete sham,I don't think I can seriously recall such a sham in the marketing of a product in all the yearsI have been buying PC games.

I refuse to get uptight about this crap as it is really is laughable,have the inmates taken over the assylum?????.....what muppets are in charge,of running this launch?????.....hehe it's amazing,truly amusing too.

I too have pre-ordered and have been given the 25th of March as release day,but to be honest,I can't see it.

My god, what whiny bunch you lot are.

You've been waiting 5 years for this thing to come out, another 15 or 16 days won't kill you.

Plus the official date is what ever date UBI publishes. I don't care what reseller's say, UBI (as much as I despise them) is the official publisher for anyone out side of Russia (? correct me if I'm wrong).

The resellers don't just sell CoD, they've got other more lucrative games to worry about and we simmers have to wait for some pimply faced teenager to update the dates on the resellers websites (over generalisation there I know), but believe me IL-2: CoD is not a high priority for them in terms profitability, so don't expect gold plated service. They'd be more interested in the other COD which sells millions of units.

Wow, heads will roll now eh.

And don't tell me they're not or that a delivery date on my order confirmation and a release date on their website isn't a commitment. If it isn't it should be confirmed and listed as "estimated delivery date" to use their own very late words.

Er, it isn't a commitment. I know you said not to tell you, but someone needs to. You agreed to their terms, which state "UBI ... MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE ... TIMELINESS.. AND ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS" etc.

They intend to have it out on the 25th, we're not yet sure they won't - it looks like it's now gone gold. And if they don't, how long will it be and whose fault is it? We don't know, but you're going to throw your toys out of the pram anyway.

Keep cool guys. The game is coming soon. One week more or less isn't the end of the world, especially after so many years of developpement. And maybe some people here should check out the real life a little more

and you will be notified via email."

No one is lying to you, is it really that hard to get that into your thick skull?

Maybe Ubisoft learnt from the SH5 lesson and are beefing up their servers. This is the biggest SIM release for the next couple of years.

Everyone needs to chill there's so many rumors about this and this is discussed across several posts its quickly becoming the only topic discussed. I can't imagine what a delay would mean to anyone. Half a dozen of one or six of the other. No one has been charged for their order yet and wont be process until it is available.

Thats not quite right! I paid for mine by Paypal already.
Thats after already paying for a CE edition then getting a refund because it wasn't going to be made available in my area. So I have in fact paid twice.

You know there is such a thing as preordering without paying in advance.

Nose out!
I was replying to timej31's post correcting him about the fact that some people had already paid.
