Game Unlock Time On September 20th

from StarControl Forums

Not sure if the time and way the game will unlock on September 20th has been addressed yet. Will it be a simultaneous release or local to your time zone? Simultaneous means that it unlocks as the same exact time for everyone, while local means it will unlock at a specified time for each persons time zone, which results in the game unlocking for a different time zone almost every hour somewhere.

So, Stardock…. how is the game release unlocking going to happen? What is that magical time?

We typically release around 1pm ET. That can change depending on various factors, but is generally what we aim for.

Then this makes me glad I'm in PST; I'll be getting it earlier in my day than the rest of you lot.

 

Less waiting. ;)

I have this unfortunate distraction that prevents me from playing the game on release called "work". I'm sure I'll be able to try it out after it though!

"Work" is a four-letter word.

Can we expect to download (or preload) the game the day before? Yes, I'm anxious.

^ likely not...we'll have to wait until it's tick-tock, thirteen o'clock EST, on the twentieth.

Sorry, we're not doing a preload.

How about a load that takes place before the actual release, then?

I am watching a blind run of SC2 on youtube. It is so fun watching someone else discover SC. I can't wait until the 20th!!

Yes, you can.

 

I mean, you don't really have a choice.
