Firstly i am not a clown nand i find it offensive secondly at the moment steam seems a bit erm overwlemed and this is the last preload why becuase if tehy did it early hackers would have complte code so i geuss after this tehre will be a tiny bit left to unlock it like 200kb it has not been anouncedt yet becuase steam web sites are offline but mark my words it is a update and 4th you do not have to read post you come by choice
and i said at time of wrtting about foroms some are back on line

Of course amigo, the retailers caused this commotion by being complete idiots, but now that the cat is well and truly out of the bag, Vivendi could be nice and unleash the game a day or two early, surely?
Heaven knows they desperately need such an act of charity to salvage their tattered reputation within the gaming community.
