FaxisAxis Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 This is all fine and dandy and congratulations to SIReal! This guy gets the game illegally we're all anxious to have and still have over a week to see and play and he gets support. As far as I'm concerned this lucky guy -nothing personal Sireal- has brought my level of eagerness and anticipation of this game down to about 20% of what it was before I read this news. He has not only opened the magic box and let out all the magic of our wonderings but without saying a word about it has contaminated it-with his mediocrity and unworthy-stumbling-upon(like a bum who has found a invitation to that hot princesses ball on the ground ) and of course just plan old schumuckness (nothing personal ) and above all his individuality. And, the kicker is that he gets support. We ordered from them the developers out of loyalty and to support them, he orders from evil paradox the money grubbing publisher-which I guess is alright too and he gets the game and the support from of course those who created it, who put there heart and soul into it and need all the support they can get. We will be getting a second hand game next week. There is no excuse if the game-only needs a 1.01 patch which is already in the works as is always the case with every game that comes out now-there is really no excuse not to, if the game is this ready, not to get those servers going and let us have our copies in no less time than a few days. But we can all joke about it and suck it up I guess until next Friday. [ July 18, 2007, 06:31 PM: Message edited by: FaxisAxis ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achim Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I have a question. Battlefront cant release the game, because the pach 1.01 is essential. Plz, dont release the game to early. (And now the question) If the patch is essential, why can the game get this good review (8 from 8 points)? I think a game with bugs (that the publisher wont release without the first patch), cant be perfect. http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=52;t=001640 :confused: I dont wanne offend battlefront, its a good idea to release a patch at selling day and not 14 days later. But what the heck tests the review writer ???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susana Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi everyone, I'm posting here on behalf of Paradox Interactive. I want to make it absolutely clear that we are NOT shipping pre-orders and that the official release date is July 27. However, due to an unfortunate mistake on our end - I say unfortunate because it is the first time it has happened and it has obviously stirred up a lot of emotions - a few of the pre-orders were shipped by our warehouse and two copies will/have most likely landed in Europe this week. Please note that not a single additional pre-order copy has been or is being shipped from us. Since this is Battlefront's big moment and an anticipated release for them, I'm sure that the individual/s who have received their copies will respect the original release date and that the fans on these boards will celebrate with the team once the release date of July 27th is here. Thank you Susana Meza Marketing & PR Director Paradox Interactive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achim Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 If they receive their copy, they should burn them to ashes and order another. Or we burn them and take their copy. Sounds strange .... doesnt matters .... something should be burned .... *runs away to buy some fuel and a lighter* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicky Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Harry Potter and the Shock of Force leaked early mmm conspiracy or coincidence... ""The number of copies shipped is around one one-hundredth of one per cent," said Scholastic in a statement. The company added that they had a list of customers who had ordered the book from DeepDiscount.com and were asking them to put it to one side if they have already received it by mistake." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerMike Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Want.it.in.my.hands.too I also preordered from Paradox (but only yesterday).

MikeyD Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 "...a few of the pre-orders were shipped by our warehouse and two copies will/have most likely landed in Europe this week." In the grand scheme of things I've heard of worse screwups. This sounds like one of those things where a couple years from now over beers & burgers the BFC guys will get mild chuckles when someone brings up "And do you remember the reactions when a few copies of CMSF got shipped ahead of release?" In an ideal world today's crisis is tomorrow's humorous anecdote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
