The official launch date is the 31st as announced by the game developer. whats going on right now is a 2 day head start ( for preorder customers that got the cd, added the code etc). The developer isnt at fualt and it isnt there marketing to allow you to pick up the game early , its the store where you picked up the game. The retailer should have notified you that the game did not launch til the 31st and told you how to get access to the head start if you were elligable. The fact that the retailer was allowed to release the game early was due to the fact that the developer had already posted the information stating that the date was the 31st and how to get on the head start . Once the retailer decides to relaease the game then they should relate all neccessary information as to when you can play and what you need to do to play it.Many retailers have a no return policy about these types of games also if they have been opened due to the fact that if installed the cd is no longer needed to play and proof that you arent playing cant be validated . sounds to me it was a retailer failing not a developer failing so you may be posting your complaint on the wrong forums. incase you doubt my sources i was a manager of a magor retail store for games for 5 years and in previous situations me and my employee's were the ones to give the information need for the MMG's to the customers. If the store did wrong , blame them.
