Your lucky I have a business trip in Michigan 24-26, so I am hoping I have good internet and my laptop can run DW decently. This is why I hope it comes out tomorrow. [&o]

Today's the 23rd! Is there fun and awesomeness in the air... or the stench of dissapointment lingering over us Space Lords all?

You probably shouldn't expect the game until thursday. That way you won't get dissappointed :(

Pretty sure Erik said he would let us know when it went Gold and since he has not done that yet it seems unlikely we'd see it today or tomorrow.  Of course I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

You know that would be hilarious as Erik said that exactly 14 days ago.

It'd be really cool if we could get an update on when we can expect to see the game.  Even if just a "probably not today guys" or a "I'm working on it but we don't know yet" thing just so that the people who are regularly checking the forums and who are waiting can be at ease.

We're working on the final release build, don't know yet if we'll have the gold master today or tomorrow. We'll let you know as soon as it's ready, as posted earlier. If I had to guess, I'd say gold master tomorrow, release on Thursday.

Why does Digital Download have to wait for Gold Master's?

Haha, didn't know that. But in the good old Falcon 4.0 days, when anybody asked when the game or next patch was ready. The answer always was "14 days" [:)]

We use the term "gold master" to mean the final installer build for all release types. Once it goes "gold" here with us, it has to go through the final store QA process, which in this case should take about a day.

When the kids would do it to us on vacation my answer was always "10 more minutes".
