davehanson Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Miles said that it wont be the usual release time of the day due to the ongoing covid situation.

godlessshoes Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 We need some GIFs and banter back in here. They never said the beta would be released today. The advert appeared overnight in the UK, clearly it was timed. Noone can demand anything. SI aren't letting you down by it not being available at midnight on the 10th.

Davey1289 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 It’s not been updated in steamdb for 11 hours. Seems a bit odd as previously had been updated every few hours.

Reflection86 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) With the adverts, I reckon they were pre-timed on the assumption its never been later than 15 days before in previous years, so it would definitely be out by now. There is probably a big problem that delayed things last minute. It's very bad PR work as some people will have bought the game specifically after seeing those ads, thinking its available immediately. That being said, 95% of us would have already bought and won't care about the ads. Edited November 10, 2020 by Reflection86 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet here you still are longing for the game Look, the ads are the ads, until someone says the beta is released, it's not going to be released. Also, its not even 7AM here in England yet. As @Reflection86 says, these will be timed ads, as well as being targeted advertising. I would be surprised if the beta, NOT THE FULL GAME, isn't out today, and by today I mean before midnight tonight. It's people like you that will only moan, and not report bugs when the beta comes out anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
