I honestly don't mind as long CK2 will be as good as it looks. If it is anything as addictive as EU3 it will be an extremely good investment. 
New CK II release date - February 14th

Bah! I'd gone and booked a week off work to coincide with the release as well!
Well it had really better be worth the wait. And quite frankly, I can't see how an extra week is going to get many more people interested in CK2. Too many people these days just want to shoot stuff, not think and plan. Plus Paradox aren't exactly the most efficient when it comes to marketing anyway. So long as the game itself is in a fit state for release, just get the game out, get it some good reviews, get people recommending it to their friends, etc. That will be at least as effective for expanding the playerbase as an extra week of not really bothering to advertise it

gonna repeat and already used line: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I got nothing to do, and now you want me to wait another week? :O
oh well, I guess I'll live through, I can accept you wanting to sell as much of this game as possible

question: if the release date can go back to prevent competition, why can't it go forward to serve the same purpose? :wacko:
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....
Are we getting a demo as a compensation soon?

Hi guys,
Since a few people have raised the issue - I can clarify that it's not about one week extra of marketing. It's about store front exposure and mind share on the day/week of release (yes, even digital retail needs to share it's space between what is releasing), attention from partners and a lot more that is not visible to the end consumer, but thank you for all the advice on how marketing works. We'll def get cracking on getting that demo out so you have something to play before then.
Kind regards
Susana

Ah yeah and the multiplayer demo will be on the 14th feb, not that the multiplayer is that interesting to me
Title says beta, body say demo. Offical site says demo too. Still, ME3 demo!
This is a joke, right? The 7th is like two weeks from now. You can't change the release date a mere several weeks before it comes out and expect it to sell more. That's just silly. :\
And I just got the days off work. Can't change them back. Super.
I find it hard to believe any of those games would have an effect on sales of a feudal strategy sim. Unless they suddenly decided to spend hundreds of thousands on TV commercials or something, I really fail to see what an extra week does. The game'll sell on word of mouth if it's as good as it looks, anyway. I could've sworn I read here not long ago that Paradox and Valve had gotten their stuff together vis a vis each other, too. None of it makes sense.
Ooh, like what? I'm looking for some reading material along those lines.
Edited because, well, look below me. It's crazy early for me.
