Civilization VII Global Release Timing

it'll be ready at midnight on the 6th in EST, so I'll be able to start the download and go to bed, then play first thing in the morning on the 6th... just can't wait
 
Waiting... :coffee:

Civ 7 Founders Edition Awaiting Key.jpg
 
Was going to ask if anyone knew when GMG usually receives their keys :p Obviously the answer is "not yet"
I read on Reddit that someone wrote a ticket to GMG asking if key would be available by early access, they said they should be available. Can’t find the original comment though.
 
Considering it's announced on their site as available on February 6th, i'm not afraid of advanced access availability. But IIRC from Civ6 the keys were available a day or two before the game was released but i can't remember how long exactly.
I guess without pre-load it doesn't really matter as long as it's available at the time i can download the game
 
Dammit, tomorrow on February 5th is my day off, but Thursday is all work no play day.

Close but no cigar! :nono:
 
Last night I was sitting at my computer and I realized that it was exactly 48 hours until Release in my time zone.

This morning I just realized that it is now 36 hours until Release in my time zone.

I wish I could shut off the time-keeping part of my brain: this is going to get old very, very fast . . .
 
I am so confused. I bought the Founders edition and see it in my Steam library but it isnt downloaded yet. Am I going to get a code or does it auto download midnight Wednesday ? Who gives me the code ? Do I have to do anything ?

Fear not--there's no "code" needed if you're using Steam. The game will be available to download at 12 am EST 2/6. Alas, you actually have to download it--no automatic downloads.

This reminds me of Zeno's paradox, where the arrow never reaches its target. Shudder. . . .

Or perhaps there's a variant we can call "Sid's Paradox"?
The time from 48 to 24 hours left seems to last as long as the time from 24 to 12 hours left, which slows down even further with 12 to 6 hours left, etc. Ultimately, the time from one minute to "download available" seems to last forever--because someone at Steam will forget to press the magic download button. Shudder. . . .

I had another game like this from GMG, and I remember they got the keys sorted in time for early access.
 
Thought it was 5pm central. Must’ve been looking at the console timing or something. Not sure I’ll be able to stay up that late to play :twitch:

Firaxis posted incorrect times and it was almost immediately retracted. That didn't stop every online news site from repeating this error and never bothering to correct it. Even now, you will likely find more sites sharing the incorrect time than the corrected time.

Just go to bed early.

Someone at the Steam forums FINALLY pinned the correct times. There was disinformation window where people were pasting in the wrong Newsweek article times in response to any queries about release times. Chaos ensued--even more than is usual for the Steam forums. :)
 
Um, I'm downloading the game on Steam right now
 
I think.... I'm downloading it now too??
it's at 1% so maybe the jury is still out ...2% excitement building. Hopefully I can boot it tomorrow
