Imagine someone going out and buying the game from a shop, getting home with it, and then trying to play it and being told it's actually not out yet

Haven't bought it on release day for the last couple of years, but certainly a few years ago there was at least one occasion the full game was released the evening before release day. Think about 6 o'clock iirc, I remember wolfing down tea to get playing it
