It's been like that since they announced the exact date for PS4. That's what triggered all the "cancelled/delayed" talk, actually.

Actually no.
From their press release (published late December) before this one released today, game was still "early 2017 on Steam" and March 7 in NA. Also on their store it still is "early 2017".

But on press release that they published today it says only "2017" for Steam now.

 

[sixteen-bit]

According to SE NieR: Automata is not "early 2017" release on Steam anymore:

Shame.

At least it's not a year+ like the FF games.

 

[Rhaknar]

Square Enix needs to take a hint from their competitors and realize that day 1 PC players >>>>>> potential double dippers.

that double dip myth is ridiculous. More like "day 1 PC players > exclusivity window money from Sony" and we cant know that for sure since we dont know what money is involved

and I dont even mean that in a shady, under the table way. Its a business thing, it is what it is. Like the UmvC3 3 month deal.

Sorry but you are mistaken.

This is the December press release:

http://press.na.square-enix.com/rel...-postapocalyptic-world-to-the-west-on-march-7

NieR: Automata will be available for the PlayStation®4 system on March 7, 2017 in North America for $59.99 and Steam® in 2017. The “Black Box Edition” is available for pre-order exclusively through the Square Enix Online Store for $189.99. The Day One Edition is available for pre-order at all participating retailers.

I sent a message to a S-E rep that day, and she confirmed that unspecified "2017" window as well.

This is from December 22:

http://press.na.square-enix.com/releases/880/a-new-nier-automata-demo-offers-a-glimpse-into-its-postapocalyptic-wor

So it's their mistake not mine, because this is their latest press release. And it clearly says "early 2017" just like on their store.

Yes, but their first release date announcement already featured a "2017" Steam release window instead of the earlier "Early 2017" window.

I'm guessing they made a mistake on their following press release, but that doesn't mean we hadn't discussed the possibility (or certainty) of a PC delay when the December 5 press release was published. That's actually the origin of GhostTrick's ban bet, for instance.

 

[data]

is Precursors worth €1.09?

 

[bbd23]

guess ill pick up mass effect in march instead

 

[Endruen]

But... FF XV is on Xbox One too...

Ban.

No, a whipping.

Then a ban.

 

[Corpekata]

But... FF XV is on Xbox One too...

Not entirely sure they are going for double dip method there given the state it is in.

 

[Endruen]

Huh? Which state?

I was talking about the "exclusivity money from Sony", because being in Xbox One too automatically discards that theory.

 

[Rhaknar]

one game discards the theory? why?

and what theory does it discard, that sony pays for timed exclusivity? We know they do, they did it with Marvel 3 just now. And with RE7 DLC.

 

[BasilZero]

I want to build a new gaming desktop this year. What time in the year do you guys think is best for me to build a PC this year? Summer or winter?


I don't care for much on VR.

My main goal is to be able to get at least 1080p/60 fps while recording with for an example fraps with all currently released games and games to come out this year and next year.

I don't mind going all the way to 4K and more fps while playing normally though.

 

[Dinjoralo]

Square Enix is one of those companies that will never change, no matter what evidence and circumstance should give way for change. Unlike most of the companies jumping ship to regular Steam releases, like Compile Heart, Nippon Ichi, hell, even Arc System Works.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Why is steam not letting me buy anything? Says

There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance.

No matter the payment method and regardless of it being browser or mobile app.

 

[pantsattack]

Yes, Precursors for a buck.

If it's about Red Haze, there's an app error I'm quickly trying to sort if it's on my side. Did contact Valve but skimming Steam internal stuff since I might have some flag wrong or something.

And Bandai Namco, Spike Chunsoft, Aksys, and the list goes probably on.

Because if Sony payed for the exclusivity of Final Fantasy XV, it wouldn't come out at the same time on Xbox One... And I'm just talking about Final Fantasy XV.

 

[r3n4ud]

For Honor and new Sniper tomorrow. Fuuuuuuck, happy Valentine's Day! Awesome!

 

[Kifimbo]

Is Convoy worth the extra money ?

 

[Jawmuncher]

If it's about Red Haze, there's an app error I'm quickly trying to sort if it's on my side. Did contact Valve but skimming Steam internal stuff since I might have some flag wrong or something.

Ok, sounds like I'll wait for that to get fixed

 

[Jameson]

Unlike like steam, Xbox One has a giant corporation behind them to fight against these shenanigans.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I'll post in this SteamGAF topic when sorted since was waiting for it before my whole "Released" thing.

Hope the final game of For Honor is better than the open beta cause that was boring mediocrity.

 

[KainXVIII]

Lost Eden is free from GoG reservation!

 

[r3n4ud]

Hope the final game of For Honor is better than the open beta cause that was boring mediocrity.

Get better in two days?

Game is polarizing though. Peeps either loved it or hated it. I loved it. Of course I'm worthless at it, but loved it nonetheless.

 

[Sajko]

Transformers games have deep discounts again. I feel like their removal from Steam is approaching. I wish they'd say anything before they remove them though.

No, but I was on-board with the mental image of that up to the pantaloons bit

 

[Ludens]

I'm trying to get Red Haze but I receive an error regarding the transaction on Steam despite having all the money I need on my wallet, am I the only one?

 

[Naarmight]

Curses I picked up Tricky Towers for £5.99 in the Winter Sale, so for £1 it is a total steal.

I picked up Convoy on GoG last year, really could not get in to it, so that may be a step too far. Awesome bundle though, hope they have not just shot their load on this one bundle though

 

[pretty done]

Square Enix needs to take a hint from their competitors and realize that day 1 PC players >>>>>> potential double dippers.

Moneyhat too strong.

Too many games anyway so Nier is getting skipped by me regardless. By the time the PC version comes out I'll probably have time to play it.

 

[Mivey]

No, but I was on-board with the mental image of that up to the pantaloons bit

I am sure you might be able to pull it of.

(That's a rapier, though, which you can usually use for both fencing, and swinging it like a sword)

 

[Vuze]

That Bundle Stars bundle is mighty fine indeed. Two games that I've been keeping an eye on in the 1€ tier alone :O Bought.
