Related noob release question... does anyone know if Steam or Paradox will allow pre-downloading before May 9th, with May 9th activation?

I've recently been waking up from nightmares of us all getting 50 Kbps download speeds. :-/

P.S. I volunteer to help test pre-release downloading at NO charge to Paradox OR Steam!


its still hard with 50kbps but wasnt stellaris pretty small? Something with 4 gb?

I thought I read something comparable to the CK2 size. So maybe 2 or 3gb
It is confirmed to be 4 GB.
Which is great. For me, the download will take around 4 minutes :p

But seriously, seeing how other companies throw around games with 20-50GB size, which I'm pretty sure could be vastly reduced with a little effort, we can be glad it is not so much.

I was cleaning up some space on my computer yesterday. And Laughed at how much size to entertainment I was getting from CK2 as opposed to some of the 30 to 40 gb games I was removing.
