Available for pre-order on Steam so early?
I logged into Steam today and almost had an heart attack as "Purchase the Witcher 2 online fom store" appeared on my screen ... it even said "Release date: November".I was stunned .. and dubiously followed the buy now link, which of course then told me it wasn't available just yet. Bad wording on the advert there, guys, false hope. Please change it asap.Strange though that a game like Witcher 2 is being pre-order available a whole 6 months before release ... that is a huge amount of time to be having a game on pre-order in my opinion, and in all honesty I cannot think of many other tiltles that had such a huge delay between pre-order and release.Why the 6 months then? Are the devs in financial difficulty and need cash quick or something? I am quite annoyed at the wording on the Steam advert, because even though 99% of my brain knew it wasn't released until May 2011, that other 1% was totally tricked by the fact the ad said "BUY NOW" and "RELEASED NOV 2010" ... trying to catch a few unwary punters maybe?
