Steam still hasn't released the price

[RayZLAL]

Title says it all...

It's been unlocked but no price

edit: Wait! I think you have to buy the dvd copy and activate from steam damn...

[benji]

No, this is common with Steam games, it will be available to buy sometime today. Unless it is preset to unlock and so on at a specific time, someone has to come into the office and do it manually.

2K clearly did not do the former. So you have to wait until they come into work and do it.

thx for the heads up man

Play some last 2K9 while you wait. I've been playing it these last few days so I can really tell what's changed.

And to clarify for others, basically when you add a game to Steam you can do three things:
1. Have it automatically show up for purchase/unlock/etc. at a specific time.
2. Same, but whenever the servers roll over to a specific day.
3. Or wait for someone to come in and "unlock" it at which time it becomes available.

Now, most developers will put up a preorder, so you can buy the game a week or so ahead, and download all but a few key files, then on release, those last few files come in, and you can play. 2K has not done this, so the game will only be available whenever they (or possibly someone at Valve) come in and send in the activation key, at which point, Steam will display it for purchase, and send out the news item of its availability.

In other words, don't sit around refreshing and getting pissed. Both 2K and Valve are on PST. Be patient.

na steam is the future of buying digital games plus i already bought L4D 2 on steam

[Patr1ck]

Steam is the current way of buying digital games.

But, do you really want Valve to control the way your games are distributed in the future?
