Help Portal 2 be released early

[Glamorgan]

Yeah. You heard that right. Valve might release a game ahead of time.

The countdown finally finished, and it lead here.

Basically, we need people to play these games. The more people who play these games, the sooner the game will be released.

So come on people. Let's reboot good ol' GLaDOS.

Honestly, this is stupid. It would be cool if it was like a few weeks before release or something, but four days?

 

[Irridium]

Does this "reboot" also count towards getting the retail copy released sooner? Because as I said many times, if not I'll have to abandon the internet until release, to avoid every person talking about it and likely inadvertently spoiling the ever-loving shit out of it.

 

[A Pious Cultist]

2,000 simultaneous players in just ONE of those games doesnt even equal a single percent of the bar. I somehow doubt we're going to get 600,000,000 people playing all the games at once.

You don't just play the games, you find the potatoes. That's kinda the whole point, potatoes can be used as sources of power, therefore enough of them will power glados.

Oh. I guess that makes more sense.

I guess Potatoes are the new cake then...

I don't think it counts to getting the retail copy any sooner. Nothing was said though, but it just seems unlikely it would count for retail as well.

Same. I don't think they can affect the shipping date on such short notice, unless the stores already have the copies right now.

Woeful disappointment. The ARG was pretty epic, but has just led up to a marketing ploy. =/

Surely you realize that most (if not all) ARGs are themselves marketing ploys. Seriously, what did you expect?
