Release time for EU

[rhaak]

Yeah, but daylight savings changed in the US, not in Sweden. CEST kicks in on the last sunday of march.

 

[Luna_UK]

Well, since Paradox are Swedish I'm gonna assume they know when daylight savings changes here (I'm also Swedish) and also, since it was Robin at Paradox who made the comment the most logical thing to assume would be that it in fact is released at 18:00 CET, wouldn't it? I would at least hope that the publisher knows when their own game is released.

The thing is I believe that the whole worlds Steam platform is based off when games are released by them in PST/PDT. This would indicate the local time equivalence for games on the Steam platform.

Because this is also on Paradox Launcher and GOG I'm not sure what they're doing unless they hadn't realised that DST had started in US

 

[Luna_UK]

Either way we'll find out in 19.5 - 20.5 hours time

 

[rhaak]

Yep, we'll know soon enough

 

[svenvangent]

On hour and 18min before the launch to Mars on PS4 pro

 

[Mauer]

Steam says in 17 hours right now.

 

[Wenatchee Willie]

You mean like how they knew random Gamestops would release the game DAYS early?

Aw, I was hoping the game would be out early today, but unfortunately not.

Well, since that almost always happens with big games, I'm sure they knew there was a risk that was going to happen. Still, that's not the same thing as knowing the OFFICIAL release date/time for your game, is it now?

NASA lost a Mars probe because someone forgot to convert metric to imperial.

Mistakes happen.

 

[Sindri LeRose]

So, as it turns out, they DID know the release time of their game. It's 18:00 CET as stated earlier, or at least that's what the e-mail with the Steam code says. And their livestream

 

[Luna_UK]

Due to the US entering Daylight Saving Time, it's messed up the Steam countdown. One of the Devs has posted on Steam confirming release time for UK/EU is 17:00 GMT / 18:00 CET.

Can watch the countdown on their Twitch stream

 

[rhaak]

Fine by me, I have to get home from work anyway

 

[jztemple]

This is why here in Florida we voted to keep DST all the year round. Damn I hate that setting clocks forward nonsense

 

[Fox_NS_CAN]

Steam is still telling me noon local time, but there is a release stream above it saying 3.5 hrs and counting down, which would put it at 14:00. I'll be a wee bit mad if it is the later of the two.

Steam is wrong the Live stream is correct
