When Download ?
will take a day or more for many people to download 150GB, did they take this into account and let everyone download before to be able to play on release date or they don't care ?

Then you will simply play on Download Complete Date.

Considering they (I'm assuming you mean Larian here) can do literally nothing about the speed of anyone's internet downloads, I'm guessing option B. Just like everyone else.

In Steam's eyes it is just a patch. gotta wait for it to turn on and download like everyone. Complain to GabeN.

steam has not developed a better system the past 10 years, even though they earn so much money every month

But everyone here is telling people to delete their early access versions and download the complete 122GB version because its a whole different game. In which case, why can't the 122GB version be pre-loaded.

because steam is like an alcoholic step dad. it doesn't care about what you want and will beat you for no good reason. so blame steam

Ye, i've suggest you to delete EA files, cause Larian said that the release build drastically differs from EA so it will be removed, not updated anyway.

From what I read there is no pre-load on steam for EA games. For early access the game gets replaced by the final version and I think Steam just won't have both at the same time.
