Sale Date!?

[Agga36]

On the Website you say HOI4 can be bought in 10 Days?
--> Can I just buy it in 10 day? _ Or can I Play it in 10 days?

Unfortunately not, the "Sale" that you see with the count-down timer, means that the Paradox Store is currently having a store-wide sale and when it will end. This seems to be a mistake that games tagged with "Coming Soon!" such as Hearts of Iron IV have this count-down timer. Pay no attention to it, it's meaningless.

For example,
EU III has the same count-down timer: https://www.paradoxplaza.com/europa-universalis-iii-collection?_ga=1.266506510.1073855552.1442951855

Actually it looks like hoi4 is the only comming soon game whit the counter, it could mean maybe pre order starts jan 1 or it could mean nothing at all, i think its the later, but you never know.

There is also Stellaris with coming soon ^^

Ok thx!
By the way - On Steam you can also see a HIO4 Website now.
Hope I will be in Q1 2016 =)

Hmmm i dont see a counter when i look at stellaris, but odds are im totally blind

Nope, no counter here too.

Its still is most likely a mistake. OR you can preorder it by then, so its listed as a Sale.
(Wich would make sense in the context that they make a Sale so soon after Christmas.)

Anyway, they said next Dev Diary at at 3.1(or 6.1? ah totally not sure there)

It will surely take some more time.

No no no no no no. Look. When they have a release date you will know about it. They aren't going to sneak out some rubbish clues that most people will miss or get wrong.

Can we please please please stop having so many of these threads?

Haha I wish.

This counter is everywhere in the paradox store. The Winter Sale in the store simply ends in 8 days. it has nothing to do with Hearts of Iron IV or Stellaris.

Great to see it on Steam as coming soon, etc.
Will be great to see the work coming to fruition too.

Id happily still throw my money at it now!

Don't worry guys, im sure it will be out soon

Besides, I would rather wait a few extra months for a completely finished and fine-tuned game, rather than have a repeat of HOI3's launch.

Funny people still say this. This game was announced January 2014, we are coming up on January 2016. I would normally agree with you but the delays have made this a bit ridiculous. It just needs to be released soon.

Well the game is in beta now and that usually means it's getting quite close to release.

I would normally agree with that however Paradox guys have said in several places that they will take however long is needed to make HOI4 a good game the day it is launched, and not plagued with a "too soon" release.

So given that I would not exclude the possibility of an extended beta, or even an second beta test altogether. Indeed I think probability is high for an extended beta due to the way Paradox have changed their QA process so recently, I think they will probably have some minor issues or improvements to work in the QA process itself let alone the game. I don't know these may be the same guys who have been doing the QA for the CK/EU DLC's, and they're already up to speed. Either way they will take however long it takes to QA the game properly, and this is not the normal method applied to a beta for a video game generally speaking, which probably means that the normal timetables for a beta do not apply.

It is probably the sale date but they are just hiding it to make us think it isn't. You can never be too sure, if the sale date in not in January I will be become ANGRY. Paradox is not slavic for doing this, they brought much glory in the past but now? This is just not slavic.

Italy would need Germany to conquer anybody.
