launching it at 1am central time will reduce the strain on the auth servers decrypting everyones game. so it makes sense.

Nah, all it's gonna do is deprive a bunch of zombie hunters a few hours of sleep.

Remember the release of the TF2 beta? THAT was blue balls.

-Beta release now!
-Oops nevermind!
-Now it's released!
-No not really!
-Now it's released, seriously guys.
-Sorry we forgot to include an executable.
-Ok shit... here it is.

Well, at least the TF2 beta was supposed to be PC exclusive, so there were probably reasons it wasn't working. With this one, it's already out on the XBox, so why not PC?

1. First you people bitch about the game being planned for release a year early, then you bitch about being released a day late. WHAT THE HELL?
2. When IS the demo going to be released, in [time] GMT [timezone] format - I wanna be able to work out when I can play it.

its been pushed back to 8PM GMT. (this evening, 24 hours after original release time stated)

Which makes me laugh. I get up at 6(pretty much every day now), which was the second time they announced. I was hoping I could just blitz through my work and then play some L4D before my lecture at 11... now i can just take my time with the work :D

The demo is currently scheduled to to be released at 1 PM PDT on October 28th (today).

I don't really mind that they delay it, it won't make a tiny bit of a difference in a few days.

It matters because the sooner I can play it, the sooner I can condemn or join the boycotters. I figure, if it sucks then I'll probably find out. Otherwise I can go boycotter-bashing.

If it didnt suck you can suffer from the l4d1 demo effect. The demo was great but when you had the actual game you noticed that 2 versus campaigns were missing already.

I dont care that the demo is buggy for 1 day. As long as we can play it im happy.

It's a demo, not that great a deal. Though Youme not apologising for falsely accusing Zwiffle of lying to his employer about taking time off was priceless.

He said he was taking time off work, not throwing a sickie.

"I feel I should contact your employer..."

Employer: "Why yes, Zwiffle is off work today, he booked it off!"
