DNF releases early in Australia (EB Games)

User is offline   Raziel 

#1

Duke is officially released by EB in Australia (which means some retailer probably released it early by accident). The rule pretty much goes: if someone releases early, everyone else is allowed to do so as well.

Probably Australia only, but I'm not sure, might be everyone.

I just picked up my copy from EB about 20 minutes ago, unfortunately steam isn't letting me install it yet. Guess I'll have to wait until midnight. Still hard to believe that it's actually real!

Well I was hoping to install the game and then just active/decrypt the files once midnight hits. Mind you I don't use steam all that much, so I'm not sure on how it all worked with getting a game before the unlock time. Hope that makes sense! :dukecry:

Yeah, I know....I was partly kidding with ya. But still, you can't just wait the time to install when the unlock comes? I mean how long does it take with a disc edition to install/activate you think?

So...*snicker* lemme get this straight.....you didn't buy another copy for a GOOD reason like playing on consoles with friends vs on PC/etc, but to play it a few hours earlier?
:dukecry: B) :D B) :D

You make the store campers look good, it seems.

They sent me a text that the game was ready to be picked up early, but by the time I read it (I was doing sport), the store had already closed. To quote the man himself: NOW I'M REALLY PISSED OFF!

TBH neither would I, unless it had some major differences to the PC version, or I could play local co-op with a friend.

I'm sorry to say this people but I will say it.

My heart is broken because of the extra delay of the game.

I cannot wait for the game to officially release over here.

Let me clarify. I already bought 3 friggin copies of the game and still get it LATE.

So I believe I have my full right to download a torrent of this game. Gearbox already has more money from me than from any regular user.

It doesn't feel right, I wanted to use the legit stuff after all this waiting, but Gbx is forcing me to download a pirate version and ruin that extra feeling.

Thanks Gearbox, thanks 2kgames, thanks Steam.

You can't wait a few days? Are you a crack addict or something?

Just wait like the rest of us.

Bullshit...sorry, but I don't care how long you've been a fan & how many copies you buy, there's no legit reason(outside of maybe the disc breaking or the drm preventing you from installing) to pirate.

And why is ok to pirate if your disk has broken? Because you've already paid for it of course! Although I agree that in the long term piracy is destructive and should be avoided in 99% of cases.

Piracy can kiss my ass*
i am one of the billions of decent people, who dont pirate.. dont know how to even start!
I feel for ya Davox.. so please dont give him shit guys. We just want our game. Simple.
And to those who are :D 's can blow it out there ass*
its because of them we have to deal with Steam in the first place. Lets be honest, if we wanna chat we have duke4.net for pictures we could use fraps we dont need steam cloud. I thumbs up some of steams ideas like game manuals, and not needing a disc...
But the whole issue of piracy is a totally over enforced with DRM. If steam was a selective thing we can CHOOSE to have thats fine.
But to keep our games from us is wrong. Look all im saying is why cant we have ON DISC an option that says "Install by Steam" and one that says "Install by disc" (for those who hate or disaprove of steam. My dad is in his late 40's and he is in the mindset of buy a cd and install then play. Steam, While good, he doesnt like it when steam starts downloading things and doesnt give you a full explanation of exactly what you are downloading.. B)

One thing i must stress here, Guys, we've all stuck through this wait together, its been so fucking long hasn't it! Now, no need for anyone to act all high & mighty here, we all are here for the love of duke, we grew up with this iconic dude & he's finally back to kick ass*. Now let's just help eachother if we have issues that need to be adressed without picking on someone for having an opinion. Thanks Everyone. Thanks Yatta for the best Duke Nukem Fan site anywhere!! :dukecry:

Maybe because it's not unlocked yet? :dukecry:
