It's their fault for putting the game on "release state", I never seen predownloading for a f2p game before I guess they couldn't do it another way

yeah people dont understand steam doesnt have a pre-load feature so they dont pay attention to whats happening for anyone confused the game can be downloaded now and servers will be live on 2nd of july

steam has a preload feature, some games already got preload available in the past
doom 2016 was available to preload in the past in remember and it's not the only one
it's just up to the devs of the game to use that feature

here the email is misleading because the devs decided to release the game earlier but to open the servers at the release date, it's sorta of a preload but not the preload feature available to devs by valve

that's how steam work. same reason why playtest forum get fully deleted by default when the test end instead of being merged with main game

that's not "how steam works". That's "how publisher set it up".

You can "play test" the real game through beta branches or even main branch, then the forums are the same by default, but it will appear released with reviews on and such, then unrelease it again.

You can release a "playtest" as a new item on Steam with separate store page and such. And still have the same forum for both.

And you can setup two pages, have different forums, and then merge them together when one of those gets pulled down.

and that's why i said 'by default' all those possibily you are talking about need to be set up manualy unlike the default behavior.

I got an email saying the game had been released. Turns out it was the preload. First time I have seen that.

Usually a preload just becomes available. You don't get an email saying the game has released until it actually has released.

The majority of people playing looter-shooter games are brain dead.
So yeah, welcome to the club!

Like people who stand with Ukraine?

Apparently you're "braindead" and a "40 IQ" for not knowing automatically that what they're telling you isn't true.

Thankfully less then 48 hours to wait.

The fact that you can post a review for the game means they messed up somewhere.

Probably Nexon didn't realize how steam system works or how some who never follow the news will react. lol.

Game can only played later at the announced date since it has to be in sync with all the other gaming platforms, ahem consoles.

Of course, gamers can launch the game if you preload, thus it "works". Just content is blocked by a timer. lol.

[myrlin]

maybe because the steam notification said available now

[Spefix]

Why did 3 people give this guy Clown awards lmao???

that's part of the problem. The "announced day" changed too on Steam. No idea why they did it, probably just incompetence as that was completelly unnecessary and they did it on purpose.

that's new too, you know. Steam preloads you can't run. But this is not a Steam preload, so ok. They just should leave the July 2nd on the store page. And put a big orange warning banner that the game servers will open on July 2nd. Like every solid publisher does.

I thought they moved up the release to today when I got the email.

If you look on the Store page, it states June 30th and Play Game. If you go to the Xbox or PlayStation Stores, they both say Release Date 30th June.

If it it's a Pre-load or Pre-Install, it should say so and the date on the Store page should say July 2nd. Like the way it is on Xbox/PlayStation and EA/Ubisoft launchers for games coming soon.

Maybe they ARE bringing the release forward then?
