I bought the game and I need to wait another 1.5 days or so to play. Meanwhile it seems everyone is playing the game already. Without doubt launching the game on different days in different parts of the world is very stupid. It only encourages piracy. Nevertheless you may have bought a copy and used a crack to play it anyway, which is fine I guess.

it would seem your vote is a bit skewered towards piracy. Razz i bought it and am not playing the cracked version.

but i do agree, different release dates depending on region really doesn't make sense. i can't understand the logic. i can't understand the logic of releasing most games on a tuesday either, but these business folk have a tendency to do a lot of strange shit they think will affect sales.

i bought two copies. one a legit key from steam. the other a 'key' for under 40$ Laughing

also it doesn't encourage piracy. piracy encourages piracy. if you had no idea what piracy was (much like the other poor sobs out there) you wouldn't think of pirating it. and if you're new to piracy and only download mp3s and movies and never downloaded a game or have the know how you still wouldn't do it. because you'd get banned from sites like this Cool Face

Too expensive.
I have no problems buying games, but for affordable or downright cheap prices (them ruski keys Razz)

The only cases where I'll gladly make an exception are the ones that I know will last ~80hrs per playthrough, usually TES titles and the "new" Fallout games.

Bought Skyrim for 40€ at it's release and I regret NOTHING!

Going to pirate this one. Already spent too much money on games these days, but I do pirate ALL the games for derpbox.

I will probably buy Fifa Manager but for the rest of the year I will pirate every single game and I love it.


I would probably buy cheap ruskie key for $44 is too much, and even XCom is region locked sigh. I don't mind paying $15 for cheap ruskie keys but no way will pay full retail price.

I havent had a chance to do anything about this game yet as I'm away from home. I'll no doubt hold off for a sale and buy it, IF the game is good and/or has some replay value.

Oddly enough, I find justifying the purchase of single player experiences like this very hard, but buying Prison Architect and Retro City Rampage this week was very easy indeed Smile!

As for non-global release dates? Fuck them, they deserve the game to be pirated if they're not going to give consumers a fair chance of gaining access to the game, why would someone wait if they could just pirate it?

You should use a VPN Iconized Razz (I agree with you though)

I never buy games at full price because I can't afford it, especially these days. Hence I'm pirating and playing pretty much everything, including this one.

But I will buy it sooner or later, even it that means that I have to wait for the Steam Sales 2015. Laughing

the initial sales aren't too promising, but I hope it picks up. fps/rpg hybrids and first person sneakers are probably my favorite genre that I want to keep seeing.

Well, it's already top seller in several digital stores, including Steam. And it isn't even released in many regions (like Europe). I don't know if maybe you're in knowledge of specific numbers though. Maybe you can share if that's the case Smile

I bought it, constant rice in prices (Now that 60 USD/EUR is near standard.) isn't really helping though I guess it will continue to rise even further.

Rice in prices... hee hee grinhurt

I bought it, but not playing it at the moment. Thankfully there is a way around regional delays for those who really want to play it, so it's not too big of deal, but it is annoying.

I pirated the shit out of it. I rarely pay full price for an FPS like Dishonored that I play once and probably never play again
