My threads were locked, for good reason it seems. What kind of mickey mouse operation decides to open up in prime time, i'm off during xmas season hours, to digitially distribute a game.

Of course they couldn't handle the load. Someone had to know this, and they didn't care.

I guess I'll check back tomorrow to see if I can retrieve my purchase.

    a) This thread of yours hasn't been locked (yet)
    b) The download's unavailable because the game is not out yet.
    c) The game will be out during TellTale's office hours, and everyone but you is fine with that.
    d) If you continue creating unconstructive threads like that, the consequences can be more than just them being locked.
    e) Stop whining and do return tomorrow without appearing here again today. You seem like a normal person but act like a total prick.

    Dude. Telltale is in California. They release their games during California business hours. It is now 6AM there. Stop complaining.

    It's funny how the guy with 4 posts is:

    1) Upset.

    2) Claiming his posts were locked.

    So out of the four posts you made, three of them were locked? Man... I gotta love Telltale's Anti-Troll Filter! That's amazing! ;)

    To make things more understandable, Telltale should explicit the timming the game will be available for download.
    For what they said and it is infered, the game should be ready at 0h of dec 22nd Pacific time. That's why there are so many posts with people complaining. This is not the only one.
    And before criticizing someone so much like some people have because he was rude or something, try looking at the posts you guys wrote to that person... they don't seem very friendly now, do they?

    Hope the game comes ASAP so everyone can finally see the result!

    they NEVER hint at an exact time.... and there are so many posts because 1 people do not understand time zones... or two people just assume they know when the game should be released and troll the boards because they are impatient cry babies.

    No, it says on their blog December 22 Pacific business hours. I think the reason why people are being unfriendly is because there are two FAQ threads (one for all of telltale's releases, and one for BttF) a release thread, AND the official blog post and people still come on the boards asking why it hasn't been released yet.

    I find it utterly fascinating, probably the most fascinating thing in the world, that there are thousands (probably millions) of people who don't understand the concept of time zones.

    FASCINATING.

    Because it boggles the mind why it isn't released 12AM local time when the previous 4 haven't done either... :D

    Yeah, I don't get why it still happens by episode #5 either.

    Telltale have always released games during their office hours. Which is fair enough. It's just like waiting for your local shop to open so that you can grab your pre-ordered copy of any other game off them. It would be nice however if Telltale got everything ready to go a day or two before then they would just have to hit that all important button on the day of release (maybe even have a midnight launch). Unfortanately Telltale aren't the biggest games company in the world so they might not have the resources for a midnight launch and they do charge a more than fair price for their products

    Working in the software industry myself, I can tell you the problem with a midnight launch is that it would require many people to be working to support it in case the server goes down or other technical difficulties arise.

    As you mentioned with them being a small company and possibly not having the resources, it's simply easier to release it when everyone is already in the office; fresh and ready to work, as opposed to sleepy and groggy.

    It might be my imagination, but I don't think the download has even gone up yet. It's kinda hard for the download to be unavailable when it hasn't even been available yet.

    What you guys really need to stop doing is posting on them. I feel bad having to waste space just to point out you guys are wasting space (which of course makes my post useful, and therefore not a waste of space.)

    To a new member of the forums that may seem like that, and I don't argue that I was harsh, but, seriously. Ask anyone who has seen what the forums look like during releases - it's hell. One can be polite only for so long. (Not to mention that Fawker was given several times a normal explanation of what, how and why and yet he still continued to create new threads where he feels to say that, basically, someone owes him something).

    Ah, but you got the "where" wrong, though. As a grammar nazi you really need to get everything in your own posts right. That's the first thing they teach you in grammar nazi boot camp. I know, I used to be one.

    I wonder if BTTF hate will be different from Mokey or SamNMax hate.

    For me this is a great sequel I have been waiting for.
    I expect the BTTF haters to be very strong since its a huge IP.

    Let's get it on.

    Hell, the BTTF hate has begun when Telltale released the trailer, and maybe even before that due to "OMG, NOT REALZITISC GRAPHICZZZ!!11" or the type of game it is.

    I remember there was some kind of Monkey hate before the release, too. "MONKEY ISLANDF SHOUSLD BE 2D, 3D TOTALLLLY SUCKS ANDS BLOWS YOU SUCK TELLTALE GIVE US 2D" and crap like that. Though, granted, that was a very twisted and unusual kind of hate.

    In their defense, Monkey Island was 3D in Escape from Monkey Island, which was pretty much universally disliked.

    But yes, all the hate against Telltale is amusing.
