F1 2017 Out...

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, i dont know if anyone saw it but, a lot of people is getting F1 2017 earlier than everyone, and for me and for a big part of the buyers, its not fair, WHY THEY HAVE THE GAME 4 OR 5 DAYS EARLIER? IF THE RELASE DATE IS THE 25TH ITS THE FUCKING 25TH NOTH 19TH 20TH OR 21ST. In my opinion its a shame, and unfair for everyone who pre-ordered it 2 months or more ago. But i insist, in my case (im spanish) i pre-ordered the game in june and, i know people who pre-ordered 4 days ago, AND THEY HAVE THE GAME EARLIER THAN ME, Jenny or Lee Mather I Want A REALLY VALID ANSWER TO THIS. IM VERY DISAPPOINTED. IN MY OPINION IS UNFAIR. IF MY FRIEND PRE-ORDERED THE GAME 5 DAYS AGO, AND HE HAD THE GAME 1 DAY AGO... I WANT IT TOO. #UNFAIR #DISAPPOINTED #AsiNO

Codemasters always give away publicity copies of the game early, usually to YouTubers with a large number of viewers, and of course to game review sites. The embargo for those people lifted at midday today, so that's why we're suddenly seeing a lot of videos and game reviews.

Some shops do also send out retail copies early. That's not illegal, so there's not much Codemasters or their publishers can do about it, other than treat them less favourably in future.

Sounds like you got what you paid for. You pre-ordered on the PSN store. You knew the game would only be available at the official release date not before that.
So what are you getting your knickers in a twist about?

You made a deal, some people got a better one. As far as I'm concerned, you knew what the deal entailed and you still took it. Stop blaming others if they get a better one and stop blaming others for your own mistakes.

Besides the game is not going to get any worse just because you have to wait a few more days.

This isn't twitter so take your hashtags and use them somewhere else. You're here kicking up a storm about a game that you preordered to play on the 25th.

You preorder a game to be among the First ones of the public to play it. I understand the frustration When you hear that the game is already out, whilst you paid for it way earlier.

but fact is, you preorder to buy on release date.

i'll Only be playing it on the 1st of september, So it can always be worse...

if you order a copy that is shipped to you most likely you will get it in advance as the stores ship them few days in advance to ensure their customers receives it on the release day.

yeah in fact the ones who have it now will likely be in worse condition because it won't have the day 1 patch yet. So being patient and waiting those few extra days for it with the patch is for me I think a better move.

Well, it is annoying that you buy a game and are forced to wait until the 25th while you see other getting retail version before the releasedate. I know it's not CM's fault and that technically I get what I paid for. But still, morally it does seem very strange to have people playing the game before the releasedate while I don't even have the pre-load available to me yet...

Oh well, same sh*t different year... I can console myself with the fact that people who play it now are missing the 1st day patch and are probably running into all sorts of issues that I won't face, hopefully...
