No. They might go out on the same day, although there are sometimes some delays in shipping too, but in any event the postal service delivery is not instantaneous. If you are in the US it might take two to four days to reach you, longer if a weekend is involved. If you live outside the US it could take quite a bit longer.

JSj Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I hope Chris will be back to streaming tonight (yes, it will be "tonight" here in Sweden, with the stream starting at midnight), after some weeks with no streaming. We might get some more news of the release then, both for the demo and full game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may start a little late (I *might* be uploading a hopefully final test build of Final Blitzkrieg to the servers...), but I'll definitely stream today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physical orders tend to ship out the same week as the game releases. However, the game will be available for digital download immediately so you don't have to wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With many other companies, the game gets locked down (goes gold) and is ready for customers to play typically weeks (maybe longer) BEFORE it is actually released. That gives them time for the publisher to do their thing, manufacture discs and packaging, ship the game to stores, etc. So if you want your physical preorder to arrive on the day that the game releases, then we have to artificially delay the release of the game, for no other reason than to have the physical copies arrive at your door on the same day. Since we don't put products on shelves in stores, there is no incentive to withhold the game from people for that long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to my reply, I did not mean to imply that the question was stupid and if I came across that way, I apologize. What I was trying to do was to succinctly provide all the information I had on the process so as to not leave anything out in case this issue was of interest to any other readers. Ultimately, ChrisND did a much better job of that. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rokko Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Wasn't it said that the game had already been finished weeks ago and the release had to be deferred only because of the delays with the new website? In fact I remember someone saying that due that delay a few new smaller features were being added that had not initially been planned to be part of the release candidate at all. Am I mistaken here or were there some further hickups not only with the website but with the game itself that I don't know of? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understood it the time between preorder and release would be shorter than normal due to the delay of the new webstore. Also as long as they are adding stuff I guess there is a period of final testing after they lock the code even if the rest is more or less finished. I assume any new feature and or new scenario requires some testing before they have a release candidate ready. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several people made assumptions that were then repeated a couple of times as if they were real. I tried to point that out but I lost the battle. While the web site work did cause various delays of various things it was totally *not* the case that CMFB was done and blocked by the web site work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
