STEAM pre-order

[Hampius]

Greetings!

Small petition from a fan if I may
Paradox, I'm the kind of person who likes to preorder games (that I'm interested in) as soon as they show up with that kind of feature. It's like buy and forget, so that when the release date kicks in, I already have it in my collection. However, I'm somewhat bound to STEAM, as the user who registered himself almost at the beginning of STEAM "life" and have been using it since then for years (just a reminder - STEAM was released on 2004 year). So I ask very politely, would You be so kind to negotiate with STEAM and hurry up the pre-ordering option? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to pre-order CK2 already using STEAM

Best regards
HamP

PS.I've just realised that it's my first post on this forum, despite being registered since 2004 year... hmy:

Word on the street is that the Steam pre-order will become available some time this month. Patience!

Since release is early next month, pre order _should_ be available this month...

Last time they said that it will be on pre-order in early January. Its still early January as its only the forth day. Just be patient. I have the feeling that it will be on steam some point next week the latest.

It doesn't matter when the pre-order will show up on Steam rly. It could show on 29th of Jan and It'll be still the pre-order. I wish to have a pre-load with it, thats what really matter to me

Yep, I really hope we will be able to preload it to be ready for the D Day.

I don't think Sengoku was up on Steam until release day. Hopefully it will be different for CK2.

Victoria (first and second) is on Steam, Hearts of Iron is on Steam, Darkest Hour is on Steam...why the hell Crusader Kings II shouldn't? Its just a matter of time until it will be avaiable there for pre-order.

I've been waiting too long for the preorder; If Steam is the main distributor for CK2, why does GamersGate have it available for preorder before Steam?

Because they wanted to get more money by giving it out earlier. Steam is most likely waiting to know what pre-order bonuses it will have before it will start to sell it. There is other places that have already started to sell the game. Its not anything new that some start to sell a game as early as possible.

When can I preorder on Steam?

Johan said before it should be in early January.. just wait a little bit more.

I keep checking steam every day REALLY this game got me more excited then Witcher 2 ever did and thats sayin something

 

[Bloodmerchant]

1pm EST just passed here (when Steam usually updates any sales, offers or releases); so I don't think it'll be available for preorder today. Maybe tomorrow, then, but who knows?

 

[lemonsquid]

If the release date is a weekday, looks like ill have a day off And yes, i really hope we have it preloaded, I want to play it the second it is available!

Is Paradox's 'true fan' CK2 program still a thing? Will a delayed Steam pre-order affect eligibility? Should we all go to Gamersgate instead to pre-order right now?

 

[Bloodmerchant]

Is the Steam price going to be the same as the GamersGate price? I suppose they can have a -10% preorder discount, but if I have to make a decision to preorder, I'd like to see what they have other than just cosmetic bonuses. And so far, I don't think there would be any bonuses for a GG preorder. Otherwise, I think that I'll just have to wait for a sale.

Seeing as they would have preferred to release CK2 on Steam only for the sake of simplicity (but made Gamersgate available as a means of appeasing the Steam haters), I highly doubt they would reward people for pre-ordering from somewhere else.

A preorder is a preorder, as far as I understood the official answers. Mind you I have no inside knowledge either way.

is it going to require steam ?
