Probably quite the opposite; The delay might be to give the folks at Steam a chance to certify the game for release on their platform, and ramp up a small marketing campaign. Trust me, we as the community want this to be the reason:

1. If they remove steam, they will replace it with another form of DRM...

2. More Steam, More users. More customers mean we get better support and followup titles.


You can still sell on steam without requiring steam and dcs does this. Actually when I wanted to pre order COD wasn't even for sale on steam - figure that out.

Steam is not needed for copy protection.


Steam isn't the DRM for COD regardless, it's SolidShield's thing - http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8071032709/m/6051033319


SO WHAT IS THE POINT OF STEAM THEN !!!! mad IS IT TO COLLECT DATA TO GIVE TO CRIMINALS ???? mad I DON'T WANT MY PORN IN THE HANDS OF CRIMINALS !!!! mad THEY CAN GET THEIR OWN THE DIRTY LOW DOWN PERVERTS !!!! mad

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is to share our porn with crims, there's a deeper conspiracy though I just haven't figured it out yet...

I guess everyone is forgetting how many times in the past this same scenario played out. Release dates announced, pre orders accepted, then years gone by and no game.

Hi

As same as Viper, and probably many of us, we have the same screenshot witht the shippoing of our order.

I must said that this is putting me "Hasta los cojones".

How can you do that? i guess that depends of how many pre-orders they had, they decided to change the release.

They probably considered that with so many pilots ready for the game and after all these years and few weeks more won't be a problem.

I must recognogize that i won't cancel my order, but this is not the way to protect your client.

Till a few days i was considering that my ordeer was some of the earliest and the problem to the Collectors Edition delay was for the lastest orders.

Today we will have to wait what Oleg said in his week update, but i guess that he must be shamed and maybe this week won't be update. Too many questions to answer?

See you all 1st April.

Ah, see, it tells you the truth right there: "This game will be shipped after the release date of March 21"


Note it says NOTHING about how long after that date. It just tells you not to expect it SOONER.

Looking at the report, the argument in this thread seems a bit pointless when talking about CoD.

Should've quoted these figures:

Quote:

Total money spent on PC games per country
US: $ 4,150,000,000 (€ 2,930,000,000)

UK: £ 740,000,000 (€ 847,000,000)
Germany: € 1,320,000,000
France: € 690,000,000
NL: € 170,000,000
Belgium: € 150,000,000


That's € 3,177,000,000 for just those 5 countries combined vs €2,930,000,000 in the US. (Note: I guess "units sold" would be a better value for camparison than "money spent in local currency".)

And that's not counting countries like Austria, Spain, Finland, etc. Plus let's not forget that a EU-wide-release will most like include countries that technically aren't in the EU ... like Switzerland.
