WHY!?!?  Seriously of the hundreds of games I've pre ordered and purchased at release NONE have ever not released at midnight.  I changed my sleep schedule and planned  work around this crap,  and NOW they want to push it back 12 hours???  I would seriously request a refund if I could, I'm that butt hurt.

relax

...I've seen that name somewhere before... *hides food*

Absolutely normal for steam games. Between true for my rare purchase of new games on GOG as well.

you have the whole rest of your life to play the game :)

Why does Steam say it'll unlock 1 PM EST then?

Calibrating...

All games I bought on Steam were released at 9am PST...

This happens with about 90% of the games i own on steam. ONCE in awhile it is midnight for any timezone but almost all the time it is 9 or 10am PACIFIC timezone. Valve and Obsidian both work in area that is Pacific time, this is pretty normal for steam releases!

Yeah this. Is it 12 or 1PM EST???

It says 15 hours from now it will unlock so 12PM! Right now is still 9PM EST

I can't believe this! I've never been so infuriated in my life! God! I'm such a little brat! I'm completely entitled to what I want and if I don't get it I throw a fit like a petulant little child! Nya! Me Me Me Me Me Me!

Steam updates at 1 PM EST everyday. That's when deals, including the deal of the day, start and end. I'm not sure about GOG though. It is possible people who redeem on GOG can get the game first.

Steam doesn't typically do midnight releases. If anything went wrong on Steam we wouldn't be able to get it fixed for close to eight hours.

Steam says 15 hours, that would be 9:42 AM for me and I'm on the West Coast just like Obsidian. I wonder if Obsidian and Steam are miscommunication somehow?

yep, 15 hours

I'm pretty sure it has always been set for a 1PM EST release.

The Obsidian front page for Pillars of Eternity says 9:00 AM Pacific time, but Steam says it won't unlock until 15 hours from now, which is not 9:00 AM Pacific time. So I'm not sure when I will actually get to play.

Steam says 1 PM EST for us. You guys need to that ASAP.

Steam rounds up, so in 3 minutes it will go from 15 hours left, to 14 hours left.  That's 11am CST, Noon EST, and 1pm PST.

Voice of reason and logic prevails. Start the game live when both Steam which is hosting the game, and Obsidian, which developed the game, will be in their offices, ready to handle any issues that come up. Rather than needing to staff someone overnight in an empty office. 

 

Somewhere, in a galaxy far far away, there are people on a message board who don't freak out over release times due to ignorance and childishness. I'd like to request a space ship to journey and find these advanced beings.

TrueMenace I live in the same time zone as you. It will unlock at 12PM EST.

 

 

Available: March 26

This game will unlock in approximately 14 hours
