Second installment of pre-load?

[Sickmind]

Someone here posted a message from a valve employee that a second portion..perhaps a full portion was to begin today, Saturday, at 9am pst...or did I just imagine that? Was that a hoax too? :O

Link/proof please?

 

[Sickmind]

I can't remember all the post I've read over the couple of days...especially with all the hype going on. That's why I'm asking, I don't know where it is.

that was a hoax too. It was on the planethalflife forums. I emailed scott lynch about it.

Hello,

I just noticed a post on Planethalflife forums that you made...here's the link

Anyway, I was wondering if you really made this post, or if it was an imposter. I'm just wondering if it's the real deal, or just some guy yanking our chain. Thanks

WOW! It's bad out there! How will we know when it's true? I guess only the moment it's actually availble to buy/play?

Jeez- I really hope people stop impersonating valve. Valve are most of the time clueless what happens behind their back - but for us fans it's a nightmare of ups and downs.

I hope there'll be a gap of a few days between the final preload and the release date.

I call shenanigans.

 

[wonkers]

I wish people would screw off with the impersonating. Your acting childish.

Valve should say that they will only post new news at steampowered.com ....it would stop this BS dead in it's tracks.

I hope there'll be a gap of a few days between the final preload and the release date.

The time from gold to a game hitting the shelves is usualy a few weeks.
