I pre-ordered Imperator Rome on Paradox's store, and was told I would get the Steam key on the 24th... still no key. Can anyone explain me this?
Thank you.

No one has gotten it yet I believe. Tomorrow will be here soon enough. Christmas in April!
the keys *should* start to be sent out in waves tomorrow after 9am CET, so in about 10h8. That doesn't mean we'll all get the key right then, but we'll all get the key a few hours before the actual release.
I think he is referring to the email that was supposed to be out on the 24th as mentioned when you pre-ordered the game on the site. Though I dont think a steam key was mentioned just "telling us how to get the game" or something along those lines. In retrospect I probably should have done a screenshot of it at the time. Regardless the release date isnt until like 12 AM EST tomarrow so as long as I get a key in email or on the store account after I get off work I'm good. I just went to the Paradox Store instead of steam this time cause I wanted to give Paradox more money (bypassing steam's 30% take and all that).
though It would be nice to get a steam key and you know like Preload the game like many other games do nowadays before release. just so I can have it ready to go after work. But C'est la vie.

Actually Paradox messed up and somehow made it for 12 hours later than it should be for release.
Paradox has never done midnight releases unlike most game companies. Paradox is a unique Swedish Unicorn. Their usually 10-12 AM EST. I remember similar release times on day of release for EU4 and Hearts of Iron 4.

Plus even if they did midnight then it'd never be midnight eastern time, like Manius seems to imply he thought it was.
EU4 was 3 PM IIRC. If not then 4 PM. I know for a fact that it wasn't later as I only got home a bit over 4 PM and was really annoyed that I didn't get it at launch. XD
HOI4 was 6 PM IIRC.
Why dont they give you the key immediately. Its a shame. So Paradox do the walk of key shame.
In the past the keys always have been sent out somewhere between noon and 2/3 PM on release day. It's currently 8:45 AM Swedish time.
Nah. As long as it is there before release there won't be a problem, as you can't download before release anyway.
But I dont get it why they not give us the keys after ordering. Is there any reason like warranty or something?
same here ... well I hope it arrives in time ... first time buying directly from paradox ... hopefully not the last time ^^
don't worry, it will arrive in time. They release the keys in waves, the first starting at 9:00am. So people started getting keys 2 hours ago but not all have been sent yet.
