I just checked the paradox stream, and they have a count down timer, based of it, it's going to release half an hour later at 18:30 GMT+2/CEST

You just ruined my day! I had thought waiting until 18.00 was bad enough, and then you go and spoil it for me. I was sure it said somewhere 18.00, or was it always 18.30. Only good thing is I didn't realise they had a countdown going, so I'll be leaving it on to watch haha

Yeah... it sucks, I was watching the stream and kind of noticed the countdown seems off, not lining up on the hour, then as I counted out the hours my day was ruined as well.

I wonder if the countdown is wrong, I've noticed that at 17.00 it is an "Hour" with Johan, so that would take us until the expected release of 1800, which is also when Steam day resets when games normally launch, and seeing Cities Skylines stream is at 1830, it wouldn't surprise me if the game goes live at 1800, and they have half hour to wrap up the stream and celebrate. I'm sure they did something similar with HOI4 and/or Stellaris, I remember the stream kept going for about half hour after.

That would be great, moderately excited again.

Just watching the stream now, it seems the countdown is counting down to 18:00 as previously expected.

2 AM Sydney time. Might have to get up in the middle of the night to start the DL so I can play immediately when I get up tomorrow.

Yeah, the countdown got changed a few minutes ago. It used to be counting towards 18:30, now it counts to 18:00.

So it seems it might have been wrong and somebody just noticed.

[Pass_West]

Relax. They will most likely release before the stream is over. Bottles of champagne may be involved.

I doubt champagne will be involved on stream, but party poppers most certainly will.

Haven't they had champagne on stream in the past or am I misremembering?
