It is 49,99€ on Steam.

Is that a comma and not a decimal point? So it's 69.99 Euro ? Why is a comma used? I've not seen that before. No I've not been to a country nor purchased anything with foreign currency (that doesn't use a decimal point that is).

For the Euro we use a comma as a separator for whole and cents. A decimal point is used as a seperator for numbers like thousand (1.000) and million (1.000.000).

Check the two images I posted on the last page and you'll see a real example ;)

This can cause some very funny situations in software such as excel ...

They announced it before we had even seen a screen of the game.

"It's not ready" doesn't work here.

Yup but as I've said before they have to test every combination for balance. Thats actually a tall order repeated games on repeated modes with all combination of hunter teams. They showed the monster like a week or two ago that doesnt mean they have played the 300 odd test games it takes to balance the thing.
 
Good. They're not publicly acknowledging that it was a shitty thing to do to their customers. and apologizing for that. Instead pretending it's a gift because people were disappointed the boxed version was delayed in some regions.
Guess that's asking too much, but this is still good. Not gonna say thanks for them deciding not to screw their customers, but I might buy the game now, depending on the reception.

The DLC now included with physical edition pre-orders are two of the three packs that come with the DLC pass, which is $20. So I suppose you can thank them for that.
Cuisine & Cargo
Available first for Season Pass holders, these two hardcore missions let players put their skills to the ultimate test. Investigate buildings sealed off in the very first days of the outbreak--with the infected inside. Explore ominous corridors of once the most famous restaurant in Harran, and employ both stealth and combat to ransack a zombie-filled loading bay at an abandoned railroad yard.

Ultimate Survivor Bundle
Players will receive seven unique in-game items that will bring fighting zombies to a whole new level. Grab three special outfits and four blueprints for over-the-top weapons to make your survival in the quarantine zone a good bit easier.

Still not cancelling that £18 Amazon order, even if it's out a month later. The cheapest digital alternative seems to £32.50 ffs!

"Thus, we’re really happy to announce that “Be the Zombie” will be available for free to everyone, on all platforms, in all territories."

Game looks great from the stream I'm watching.

Yeah I'm still amazed at the knee-jerk dismissal this game is getting. Its like everyone has a time machine and knows the game is going to be a janky, bug-filled mess even though all pre-release footage of the game so far has been great.

We'll see in a few days when we actually get into it. Open world games are never perfect but the drive-by posts dismissing the game as "broken" or a "disappointment" is really sad. I just don't see it with this game. It looks real solid.

Physical release almost one month after the digital release is unacceptable. I don`t buy digital games. Not sure im going to pick this one up.

"Pre-order the game and get exclusive content."

"Thanks for the pre-orders! Everybody else who didn't pre-order also gets the content now as well!"

They giving us anything else to replace that, or... ?

Why? Don't pre order it then and buy it at a later date. You don't have to pre order nor should you be rewarded for it

Good to see that they backpedaled on the zombie mode. I'm still cautious from a technical standpoint given Techland's track record in that department, but I'll probably pick it up next week.
 
Are they doing this because of the lack of preorders or the production delay?

Probably because of the delay, but it doesn't hurt to try and suggest a lack of pre-orders might have had something to do with it so people don't fall for the same dirty practice next time...
 
Hmm a company that changed a shit preorder practice? I can support this. Where is the message from 2K and Turtle Rock following suit? I'm sure its in the mail somewhere.
 
So, do only the areas affected by the delay get the other two DLC with their pre-orders, or is it included in all pre-orders period? I'm confused ...

The boxed version is delayed in the vast majority of regions.

And if what if I have read on here is correct the Be A Zombie mode already came with every boxed version in NA anyway.

Huh. Someone high up decided to stop screwing over customers? I'm honestly shocked.

Well, this is definitely back on my list of games to possibly pick up. I'd definitely wait for the physical version though.

Well we can just rely on you to post another obnoxious list of how we should spend our money if that happens right?
