Hi,
I've seen reports on here about stores selling the game early and so want to clear up the activation of the game issue.
In the interests of fairness for both retailers and players we have made the decision to turn on the authentication / activation system for street date of 14th November. That decision was taken to try to give everyone a level playing field, for retailers it should mean that there is less incentive to break street date and less disadvantage that do the responsible thing and sell the game on the day of release. For players it means that everyone gets to play the game at the same time and those that have bought or pre-ordered from retailers that hold to the release date aren't left in a position where they wait for their copy whilst others are playing the game.
Despite this, it seems that some retailers are selling the game already. That's disappointing for us as it causes problems and disappointment for the people buying the game, as they won't be able to play it until the release date.
To those that have already bought copies of the game I apologise for the frustration having the game but not playing will cause. It wasn't supposed to be a position you would find yourself in, and I can only ask for your patience in waiting until the release date to play the game. For those of you that will see the game on sale before the 14th, please again understand that you won't be able to play it until release date.
All I can say is that this is done with the best of intentions for you, for the retailers, and to protect the game itself. Please believe me when I say I know how frustrating the situation is, I've been working on the marketing for the game for months and months (we shot the pack image back in May) and I can't wait to actually play the game. I have copies of the game under my desk and I cannot play them for the same reason you can't, and that is the 100% honest truth. Until Friday please continue to play the demo and, when Friday comes round, I hope you enjoy playing the full game as much as I will.
Thanks
