28 friends on my Steam list already own Borderlands 2. I think that's a new record for a game that isn't even out yet.

This shit is Cinderella in reverse. Come on midnight, get here! Also, these rats are eating my clothes, not making new ones.

KK, fuck GMG. I'm going to be leaving negative reviews for their shit hole everywhere I can. Just caved in and got a steam key from amazon.com.

GMG doesn't want my money, I guess I'll wait for a Steam sale in a few months.

Looks like I won't be getting this game... seeing as the pre-order bonues ends in 15 minutes and I don't want to pay $59 + another 10 bucks. GMG needs to ramp up there servers for big launches.
If GMG ramps up their infrastructure you probably won't see as many good deals, right? The money has to come from somewhere. I didn't buy from GMG and I'm not defending them.

Personally I've got the 360 version coming from Amazon tomorrow, but decided to jump on the PC hype train at last minute.
Train is about to be derailed though. Will probably just watch some twitch streams and go to bed.
You can temporarily set up servers in the cloud...

Hahaha oh my god. Did someone forget to change your diaper?
Learn to preorder man. And grow up already.
It still is awesome unless you wait till the last minute like a bunch of people in this thread have. Ordered mine 2 or 3 days ago and all is well with it.

I pre-ordered about 4 days ago and got my key immediately, then proceded to do the pre-load. Not sure why people wait till the last minute and then bitch because the site is being hammered.
thats a loaded question...

There are magic cloud servers sitting around that you can use without spending any money? AWESOME.
TANSTAAFL.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
I still think its stupid that did an order with the official HP and still no keys or anything yet. Which means no pre-load.
The point is they are up for a very short portion of the fiscal year. Tons of websites increase their server count during events and such.

My first ever Steam midnight launch. Let's do this.
I've never done one of these steam unlocks before. Is it instantaneous, or can there be a delay?
I'm fully preloaded.

Cracked me up!
There can most certainly be a delay. Hopefully we all get lucky here and the servers don't get clogged.

Should start decrypting at midnight, and 2-5 minutes later you will be playing. Of course it wasn't always like that.

Last game that did this, it basically updates because right now it says not released. But it should just unlock and then you should be able to hit play and it will do it's installation thing.

AND THEY DO NOT DO IT FOR FREE WHICH WAS MY ORIGINAL POINT.
I don't see what is so hard to understand about that?
I assume you believe GMG would make more money if they did this. I assume they don't.
The simple fact of the matter is you can't predict that load.
Another simple fact of the matter is that it might not be server capacity that is the issue.
Another simple fact of the matter is that the best practice in terms of actually making a profit is building out for median load, not peak load.
Steam gets overloaded too, I suppose Valve should roll out free magic cloud servers now and then.
Can't wait. Too back I have work tomorrow though. Sucks for the people who waited till the last minute though.
Also, if you never got an email from GMG, then just check your account on there under the keys section. It's usually always there. Sometimes the email just never gets sent.

I feel so left out...
Caps is cruise control for cool. It seems to be you who isn't understanding. GMG does not lose that much money over a temporary server ramp up. But the point is that they create desirable service that isn't frustrating. Thus bringing people back.
