Steam Pre-order WHEN?

[kyuven]

well if they say, "sometime in may" and then the pre-orders don't come in may, you would at least expect them to go "sorry, we're late, you'll get it before early access" or something?

Again, if they don't know why and are in communication with someone else, they may not know what they need to apologize for.
Besides it's Sunday. They can't make any announcements like that until someone is in the office to authorize it. Technically it's still "sometime in may" right now.

"We're working with Valve to launch pre-orders for the digital standard edition and digital Collector's Editions sometime in May."

even if they do it tomorrow, it's already June everywhere. So it should be obvious that at least an update is in order.

Something tells me this might be on Valve's end.
SE wants to sell it ASAP. It's in their best interest to have it ready.
At least, that's the logical scenario.

As I said on steam:

developers work with steam and are informed. Hence why when Cities Skylines gave a pre-order date, they met it, when Tera got a release date, they met it, when Bloodlust got a pre-order date, they met it. In fact this is the first game out of those 500 that I own where I see a promised date not met.

they said something and haven't delivered. That's a bad practice. Whether it's a miscommunication in their offices, or between them and steam, it's not for the consumer to solve, but regardless the circumstances the consumer CAN complain as they were told information that has been proven to be untrue today and they have not received an update on that.
