Rastafariel Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) god-forsaken steam ruining it for us folks who just want to play our own legally bought copy of Skyrim on our own personal computer. Fecking hackers (or I should say pirates)... *sighs* /rant off. Edited October 27, 2011 by Rastafariel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymondNZdnd Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I heard Pete saying that Steam adapts to your timezone.When 11.11 passes the game will be unlocked in your timezone. And you can install it before 11.11 (If you have a DVD). EDIT:Steam now has a countdown until 11.11:http://store.steampowered.com/app/72850/ When the timer hits 0 in your timezone it will be unlocked. Hmmn - looking right now-- Steam says "about 2 weeks and 10 hours". Nothing seems to be counting down (static time)-- Skyrim Nexus says "1 week 6 days 16 hours + small change" Still unsure of this unlocking of things -- will we have to wait till the 12th for this in New Zealand?(actually - it'll be a race to see if the suppliers will get me hooked up to the internet at home, been nearly 4 weeks and no sign of progress) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinro Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 It's a little odd with Steam, this time. Usually, it releases on midnight, the exact moment it's friday, but this time it doesn't. It is released at 10 am on friday morning here in Denmark (GMT+1), according to Steam. It's not to whine about a 10 hour difference, 'cause I probably wouldn't be able to stay up all night anyway, I just think this one is universally timed for midnight at the American west coast.

Actually Central time should be 2 am, once day light savings time is figured in. We get back an hour on the 6th which pushes out the unlock time 1 hour.

Well I guess that means that I will be waiting a extra 2 hours to play the game while I pour over the game box lol. Sad I know. Nope; Mountain Time, United States.
