How? How do you forget to check the box and release your game on Steam? How stupid are these people?
Ugh, the know? Aren't they the ones who said Battlefield 1 is sexist because you can't play as a woman?
Anyway, that's a pretty big fuck up, I'd be worried about the quality of the game itself since the publishers doesn't seem to care about it.

heard of a game having its release date brought forward by a month, only people forgot to tell marketing so it died at retail...MatParker116 said:
Thanks for the video link, OP. A friendly reminder of how insufferable The Know are is never unwelcome.
Yeah, that was my takeaway from it.Ishigami said:
"Wait... 5 day quality standards?.... How?.....Does not computer"" *brain melt*
Sure, some games might hold up under that and show their cracks later, but there's lots on Steam that should be condemned to the trash incinerator within 5 minutes, nevermind 5 days.
Yep. Pretty much. I'm not a luddite to condemn this "new and disturbing to me" technology of delivering information through videos online but sometimes videos aren't better. This one is 5 minutes when it can be explained in text you read for 30 seconds. Make it a minute to pad the article into something that looks more "meaty". And yeah, The Know is so annoying - it's like you turn on the news but the background music for the news anchor is somebody dragging their nails on blackboard.Vigormortis said:
I'm pretty sure 2-5 days isn't saying somebody would be actively looking at the game for that duration but that somebody would spend some time looking at the game within that time range. It could be 5 minutes in 4 days, for example. Or do you expect clicking "ready to release" to IMMEDIATELY summon somebody who will not eat drink or sleep for 5 days while doing whatever they need to do with the game?Seth Carter said:
It's not even something Valve have done that is strange in any fashion, so I don't get what your surprise is. When I order something from Amazon, it usually says something like "dispatched within 2 days" or, indeed, "dispatched within 2-5 working days". I personally take that as "we'll get to your order in up to a week but we have a bunch of other orders to process as well" and don't expect the seller to spend one business week meticulously wrapping my order and putting stamps with the utmost precision. Until today I would have said that "I don't believe anybody thinks that" but after your comment...well, maybe there are people out there who believe it literally takes 5 days of continuous work to put the order together and ship it.
Its probably just to check that publishers haven't gone 'rogue' and are literally trying to put Nazi propaganda on Steam or something. They probably don't QA check the game, just look it over to make sure nothing there's nothing like that there.Seth Carter said:
On the up side: I remember taking a look at this game on kickstarter way back. Didn't back it and promptly forgot about it. So all this coverage about it being delayed by accident has reminded me it exists. Doesn't look bad either, actually. Might get it. (Though I might not...my backlog is enormous...)
