Even if it is, it could have been easily preventable by giving a bit more details from dev side. Feels like a scam caused by misinformation/communication . 3h left in Europe, but normally patches drop after midnight.
Even if it wasn’t intetionall, it still was false advertisement.
I would say it will be released in about 4-6h. That is the normal time for patches. It is still 25th in USA, but many other parts of the world are already be 26th.
They say the DLC will be release at 26th, so i already thought that would be 27th for most players, since the dev thinks the world is USA only when mention times.
Not really usual for both store, but for AoE dev team.
I’m on GTM+1 and steam dais that the DLC will be unlocked 21 hours, considering that now it’s the 21:30 it’ll be the 19:00 here when the DLC will be unlocked, or at least I think so…
This is the kind of quality work I expect from the marketing department. They’re employed to post nonsense on facebook, I doubt they understand the concept of time zones.
I think that giving exact times is dangerous, because these sort of things have to be still getting fleshed out right up until the last minute. Having an exact time gives a target to miss.
At that point why did they even give a pre-order bonus saying players could play the civs early. Should have never had pre order dlc if that was the case lol
I have a hunch it was a last-minute addition due to complaints about there not being a pre-order bonus. And because it was last-minute, it has a blemished launch. But hey, that’s just me. Still makes sense though.
