Whatever happened to games releasing at midnight?

[Bebi Ktynn]

I'm very excited for this release, and was hoping to play it tomorrow during the day. Apprantly it releases at 19:00pm Brussels timezone.

I'm going out to dinner and have to work for the days following. ♥♥♥♥ you CAPCOM :D

That has been like that for the last 10 years lol. Very few games have midnight release on steam.

welcome to steam, the concept is called timezones. im in the same timezone, (nearly) every steam game game releases at 19.00h, thats also when the steam shop page refreshes (daily deals and stuff)

Yeah... Gotta love Steam Midnight releases. It only happens when the Steam HQ is at Midnight. So Americans get that, but us who have already been in the day of release for a long time, we have to wait...
Please take a moment of silence for the Oceanic Timezones who have to wait an extra day beyond the date shown...

This is why there's a countdown on the store page.

The game releases at 5pm in GMT-1 and that's also when a lot of games get their release. Not 7pm.

Your profile says you are in germany and your initial comment also said that you are in germany, so yeah if my clock shows 5pm, yours shows 5pm. Mind blown.

Yeah, sorry I miswrote. That doesn't change the release time though. We're in the same time zone and the game releases at 5pm for us.

1 day and 2 hours

ha strange, really seems like it.
thats unusual, but the earlier the better.
i guess its midnight in japan.

Then imagine someone who live in the place where the game is released after midnight, ON THE DAY AFTER

[Bebi Ktynn]

Hahaha, oh well. I'm happy we are getting this gem of a game. I hope many people can fall in love with it and that it has a healthy playerbase for a long time!

Where did you even hear that it's allegedly a midnight release? Because it really isn't.
