OT: But seriously, that sucks. The Steam servers are going to be very busy come 11/11/11.
I almost preordered from a brick and mortar store since my DSL is hit-or-miss and I've had Steam server problems with preloads in the past. I'm glad I changed my mind and went with Steam-only.
I really have trouble believing this. If it is true it will cause much rage especially in Australia where I know a lot of people have very limited internet connections.
Or Shaw depending on where you live. I got unlimited. Granted its their fastest package but its unlimited.Waaghpowa said:

Doesn't worry me true or not, for the first time ever I bought an elderscrolls game on x-box not pc (getting too old).
...I'm having a hard time believing just how dense almost everyone in this thread is.
He has the game before launch.
It's a Steam game.
BEFORE LAUNCH.
STEAM GAME.
Is this helping anyone make the connection? At all?
For those still quite slow: The disc has data to check with Steam to see if the game is actually released. If it is not, nothing happens. If it IS, the install can proceed. Steam has done this for MULTIPLE games to avoid the pre-launch gameplay silliness.
Christ. My IQ dropped just looking at this thread.

Actually, I do, for various reasons.Somonah said:
I also have vinyl records and laserdiscs. And the oldest book I own is from 1754. All that stuff still works and makes me happy, and still I can enjoy my games on Steam, it just boggles the mind how flexible old people are at times, doesn't it.
Dick Move. I preordered my copy from Gamestop so I could just run to the store after work and install, play and avoid steam to easily mod. Now I got to download 6 fucking gigs then sleep again for work? Some gay shit right there. I hope OP's just trolling.
I buy most of my games off Steam, but I still have some cassettes and VHS tapes, still use 'em too! I like watching VHS movies on my 52" HDTV.Somonah said:

Sorry, going to need more hardcore evidence than this to make people believe that this isn't just some factory defect. It just makes no sense what so ever that a company would waste literally millions on plastic disks with no data, paper/plastic packaging, shipping, etc, if the game was just going to be downloaded on Steam.
This is the worst possible news I could have heard. I realize that steam is nice and all, but damn it I wanted a physical copy! It'll take me forever to download it on the release date with my internet connection...
Maybe OP is exaggerating though... Either way I don't like the idea of having to use an internet service to validate the game. I bought a physical copy to AVOID that.
Although on the other hand, at least I'll finally have some games on my steam account other than Team Fortress 2.
My heart is broken.

you sure its not like a lot of steam games, where is the Pak files on there, and it unpacks them instead of installing? (but pretends its installing, which in a way it is)
thats what i found about Dead island... the preload gave you a bunch of pak files that required steam to unpack to use, and steam woudnt do it until the release date.
