wfz said: You know, I just realized that this thread brings up an interesting point. Guild Wars 2 was available to play 3 days before launch for those who pre-ordered it. Star Wars: The Old Republic had a similar pre-play time for gamers who pre-ordered. What's wrong with allowing gamers early access to your game when they pre-order? Perhaps this should be a new trend. I'd like this. |
Does Steam sell those games? Digital Distributors may follow release dates exactly rather than like Retailers who try to get extra sales from their locations earlier as an advantage.
I remember when I worked at Fry's Electronics when Pokemon Diamond/Pearl came out, the game was actually out in the stands a few days before it actually was sold anywhere else even online.

SWTOR was an Origin game, and Guild Wars 2... I don't think it uses any third party clients. It's just ArenaNet's stuff.
