You make a couple of points here...but it's not about paying attention. The OP apparantley just walked in and bought the product, with no-one to tell him he wouldn't be able to access it until launch. That's a flaw in the retailer. If it's about providing customers that kind of courtesy, then there needs to be that information A) In a big poster practically on top of the product B) A sales rep type guy (or even just the electronic section guy) there to tell anyone who even shows moderate interest in the game that information or C) Something posted at all the registers. The release date being good or not is entirely up to debate, however

Stores shouldn't have to walk up to every customer and police everything they buy and have to tell them everything....the large customer base would make that rather hard....but customers should ask questions if unsure. And, is this a big title that stores would have stuff plastered everywhere about it...no...I never see stuff plastered about MMORPGs. The information was available on the games website, the pre-order box had information...Customers need to research their purchases...I am not a child and I should be able to make informed decisions...and I feel that allot of people are capable of doing that...Hope its true....

Well, I am going to leave this post with a quote from The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

" Vogon Captain: People of Earth your attention please. This is Prostectic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planet Council. As you no doubt will be aware, the plans for the development of the outlying regions of the western spiral arm of the galaxy require the building of a hyperspace express route through your star system and, regrettably, your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes thank you very much.

Crowd roars

Vogon captain: There’s no point in acting all surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaints and its far too late to start making a fuss about it now.

Crowd roars louder.

Vogon captain: What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh for heaven sake mankind its only 4 light years away you know.! I’m sorry but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs that’s your own regard. Energize the demolition beams! God I don’t know…apathetic bloody planet, I’ve no sympathy at all…

Earth is destroyed "

I just wanted to say I am a casual gamer, hardly get to play, but I knew about the pre-order...I received email about it...saw it in stores....and on website when I looked to verify information. Just wanted to let everyone know that Casual gamers are not all as misinformed or want something that we didn't pay for...I did buy the pre-order and do get the head start....but, some will do anything for nothing. I really doubt there were that many misinformed casual players. And I seem to recall information about launch and head-starts on the updater...so if the OP played the game must have never read while game updates...

Hmmm. I will have to look at that then. I thought I always heard it as shadows. I could be thinking something else though.
