I think this is more Nexon abusing normal Steam mechanics to get a pre load more easily. It looks to me like they just hit the release button on Steam relying on their server infrastructure to maintain the pre release status until they are ready. Ive never seen another publisher release like this before. I wonder if Steam will have anything to say about it in the end.

Or maybe you didn't read and see that the game isn't out until the 2nd. It's preloading.

You cannot preload without owning the game, this game is Free to Play, you cannot owned it before the game release, so they just moved forward the steam "release" so you can owned the game and preload it

Okay, please show anyone where it says a single word on the Steam sale page that its a pre release and that today isnt its release date. They need to update the sale page with that info because from what I can see, the only way to know is to come to the forums and find out. The sale page clearly says its release. Steam sent emails to everyone with it on wishlist that its out, download and play it now. So we CAN read and they have said its out nearly everywhere normal not attached at the hip people would see it.

That's already a bad taste. Steam has an option to preload so why not use it? Instead they launch a product that is not yet ready.

[Spooky]

no.

Yes. But if its preload usually the steam store will not say the release date is today. This is clearly a misinformation from Steam or Nexon. Unless Nexon decide to release the game early. If you go to the game store page. The release date is today. It shows download button not preload. There is nothing on the page indicate this is a preload and the game is not out yet.

had a stroke reading this, but yes this is correct. What im irritated at is that the email just made it appear like it released early, literally just says an item on your wish list has released. Which is pretty annoying
