    It does have to do with the publisher. They could choose not to abide by those release date guidelines but they don't want to anger the game stores. For example Destiny released everywhere outside of Japan on the same day. Also you can release a game on Friday that would mean US gets it only on the following Tuesday if we go by these arbitrary days.

      That's a bunch of bull... I've pre-purchased TONS of games before on Steam before and they were released on time, it was totally their choice to delay the release for some way....

        They didn't suddenly decide to delay the game. For at least the past 5 years it's been released on the Friday following the Tuesday release in the states. It's nothing new.
        Some publishers obviously decide to release it this way, but don't go complaining about 2K delaying the game cause it's been a common practice of theirs for at least five years.

          It's not a delay, it's been known for months that this would be the case, as it is with a lot of publishers. This release schedule is dumb no doubt, but no surprise.

            A quick Google search gives you an answer.

            Do you know why games are released on a Friday in the UK? Do you know why they're released on Tuesday in America? Isn't it about time games launched at the same

              It really doesn't matter, they'll release it a day after it's released in America like every other year.

                No, they release it three days after the US.

                  I think what he means is that we always can get it early anyway... At least here, I never had to wait until the european release date. I'll get it tomorrow or the day after.

                  Anyway I fail to see how this is a big deal. We're talking about a few days here.

                      For me it's not that big of a deal but it could be handled differently so everyone could play on the same (official) date. Maybe next year

                        It's been this way for the last five years at least. Don't see it changing.
                        Read the article I linked to a page back.

                          Yes, but normally a retail chain breaks the release date and all the stores start selling it early.

                            No, not normally, but it can happen. Big stores like Gamestop would never sell it before release in that country.

                              It does not matter if you have your Key already, because Steam does not unlock the Game early.

                                The region you purchased it from originally is the one that matters. If you didn't change it to US before buying the game, it won't be unlocking for you until the 10th regardless of what you changed your region to after.
