Steam Pre-order WHEN?

[Shadray]

I'm gonna wait until the 17th before I start to worry about this.

Ahaha
These steam threads
Dont worry they'll get to it eventually... Lol
Perhaps after the 19th?
Jk jk maybe.

Oh, I'm sorry, just because we didn't get it through Squeenix we should be lambasted by someone who did?

This point also goes for the PSN people, they don't have Heavensward for pre-order yet either, but a Rep said "soon™", meanwhile, on steam; nothing since the page's initial spawn back on the 20th (or a bit later than that), and the steam community hasn't been updated since some time in March.

so we're the lesser client just because we bought our game from a different re-seller than you? o.O

Also here to express my concern about the lack of updates about the steam version being late. I would really love to be able to participate in the early access and it's unfair if we will be restricted away from it, just because we bought it on steam.

They probably haven't given an update because there's no update to give.

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.

Sure they can complain. But they are not exactly 'owed' a reply as they have not been charged for anything at this point. Steam and PSN are one of those distribution systems that while they help with exposure and generate them revenue it's not exactly a pain free happy union. Both take a chunk of sales. Valve most likely takes part of the sub fee since their version can be paid through steam. And if the in game micro transactions (mogstation) work like other games on steam they even get a cut of those. This is part of the problem of why steam clients/non steam clients can't mix. SE would incur a steam tax upon what was previously all theirs.

No one is owed a reply sure, but as currently subscribed customers I'm sure SE wants to keep them happy.

As to why it's taking them so long, who knows? I'd sure appreciate knowing why, but as long as we get access to early access I don't mind them being quiet about it.
