Lowk Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Actually, that was directed at bk for flipping the eff out for the past two pages over this. I was congratulating you, nate, on actually speaking some sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3WINTERS Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Thank goodness, I thought I was having early onset dimentia and I was missing something. I'm convinced that the steam statement in no ways confirm that the game is locked to one zone world wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scizz Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Wow, you really hate the fact that you get to play Skyrim on Xbox before everyone else who has to actually wait until the street date huh? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natelovesyou Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Actually, that was directed at bk for flipping the eff out for the past two pages over this. I was congratulating you, nate, on actually speaking some sense!Ha gotcha! I just feel that Steam hasn't updated their info, I don't think Pete would answer a question saying it'll unlock in your timezone if it wasn't going to happen...that would piss off too many people if he was wrong.

3WINTERS Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 For me though it really doesn't matter, I won't be playing untill a few days later anyway. I was almost ready to argue blue against mis-information purely to confirm I'm not reading wrong but either way this leaves little to no impact for me, Patience is a virtue....

IndorilTheGreat Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Bah. Oh well. I can wait an extra two hours There's not much I can do about it, is there? No matter. I'll be so pumped on caffeine that I won't be able to go to sleep (I'm going cold turkey on caffeine until the 11th... it's actually kind of nice).

hejpadig Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I just checked, and if it's midnight PST, that means it'll be available for installation 9am for me on the 11.11. I still will be going to school and all, so I don't really bother since I'll be home at around 4pm anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkmorton Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Nowhere in these statements does it say when the game unlocks. Tell me where in it it says that the game unlocks at a universal time across the entire planet. I will try to be civil because granted you didn't actually see all the conversation I had with Steam support but in future when it is obvious that someone has posted just an EXCERPT from a conversation, it's a good idea to at least ENQUIRE about the full conversation first yes before making sweeping assumptions about the context of it? Because the prior conversation I had with Steam support made it clear that the physical retail disc version unlocks at the exact same time as the digital, which is 12.01 AM PST. Here you go: "Thank you for contacting Steam Support. The information on the Steam Storefront is the only available information at this time. A countdown clock is provided on the Skyrim store page linked below which will provide more information on the game's unlock time for your region. Title: SkyrimLink: http://store.steampowered.com/app/72850/ Please refer to the Steam News section for the latest news and updates on upcoming Steam titles and content. Steam Newshttp://store.steampowered.com/news/ Thank you for your interest.3 Message by you on Thu, 27th Oct 2011 5:34 pmThank you for the response. May I request further elaboration please. Simply: - Does the Unlock Countdown apply to JUST digital versions of Skyrim (purchased on Steam), or does the Unlock Countdown ALSO apply to physical disc versions of Skyrim too? - Will people with physical disc versions of Skyrim be able to play it before the digital version off Steam unlocks? I ask because the digital Steam version of Skyrim unlocks at 7 PM November 11th for me. I need to know whether that massive delay also applies to the physical disc version, because if it does there is obviously no reason for me to attend a midnight launch in Australia and will need to adjust my plans accordingly. Looking forward to your clarification, Kind regards.4 Message by Support Tech Robert on Fri, 28th Oct 2011 7:12 pmHello Ben, Skyrim is a Steamworks title. Among other features, this does mean that retail copies of the game, once registered, will unlock at the same time as Steam-purchased copies. You will be able to install the game contents from a disc prior to the game's launch, which can reduce bandwidth usage. However, the unlock time should be simultaneous for both versions. If you have any further questions, please let us know - we will be happy to assist you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3WINTERS Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) when providing evidence toward a statement, it's generally a good Idea to post the response in its entirety not just an excerpt that in no way backs up your statement. Otherwise it's just hearsay. Edit: fixed error Edited October 29, 2011 by 3WINTERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hejpadig Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I could have wrote that in green as well, and said it would be released on the 12th. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
