So - the expectation is that it will be out WED?

Post by diesel7013 »

Based upon what I've read here - they think it should be available for DD tomorrow ( Wed ) ??

Is that the popular understanding or are we sorta like kids waiting till Christmas morning only to wake up and be told that Santa didn't come last nite but will come sometime in the next 4-5 days??

In fairness to Matrix:

I have not seen any recent posting by a representative of Matrix speculating as to when the game will be available by digital download. Any speculation, therefore, is that of the uninformed and over-anxious members of this forum. Speculate (and take time off from work) at your own risk!

Everyone can make their own guess as to when the release will occur. Don't make any plans though... [:-]

Think of it this way everyone - the best sign that Matrix is working their asses off right now is that they aren't posting on the forum. Expect it at any time.

Well, we have that reality plus one more that I should add. The fact that this is their first day back in the "office" and the website still hasn't been touched. Means the web designers are working overtime to have the new site ready for when the game and the download are set to roll. [8D] Easiest way to tell there's been progress on this whole thing is to watch the front page of the matrix website. Soon as the content changes, you can bet things have changed for the better...

the Buy It logo on the WitP site a half a dozen times - just in case they happened to sneak it up and had not made the official announcement. Don't worry, if that happened I'd be sure to tell y'all - after I had it downloaded.

Sooo Why is a Tuesday the first day back.. are they on the Three day week plan?
Nothing from MAtrix on this.. how frustrating.. other than to guess it maybe out sometime.. blaw blah bloh.. wish they could have at least taken orders at Origins.. ggcb

I'm not upset, just frustrated.. And still no word from Matrix as to why this is taking so long..or when it will be out.. it could be Aug for all we know... maybe they don't really realize that by not making any kind of statment and releasing it to Origins many feel shorted.. I do

C'mon, Freeboy, Origins ended Sunday, and some (most?) of the Matrix people are in Australia, no? That's a full travel day; I know, because I've done it. On top of that, you set your watch ahead 12 hours or so, which means if you leave Ohio Sunday night, you might not even arrive in Oz until Tuesday morning. That's how it was when I did the trip, anyway.

Also, Matrix *has* posted. Marc said he would be surprised if it was Tuesday, and he was right, because Tuesday's pretty much gone.

The game will be here soon enough.

So I guess it won't be out today.
I'm (reluctantly) going to log off.
Try again tomorrow. If it isn't out tomorrow, I will become irritable.

No one from Matrix is from Oz that I am aware of.. I think a flight from Colombus to jfk takes less time than the trip to the airport to get the flight...
and Marc stating he didn't think so on todays dd is not what I was stating... they have not been forthright.. it is really simple.. I was looking for a black and white clear release date.. we will sell this at this date subject to availability... Please.. do you really think this work is so mysterious that a timeframe could not be put out there... ???
