You guys are all misreading the e-mail. I see all of you posting
"You will receive your links FROM time X".
That means at any time after that time. for example, 8 hours after that time.

Sorry but this is not professional... There are lots of programs that have been created for massive emailing.
Also, don't beeing specific and clear when dealing with customers just shows that they don't care at all.
They are lucky no body cares a damm to do a cycling game (or maybe they are fools to do it...)
What ever, if we have to analyze a senctence like in the language classes to get the game or don't lose our mind, we do have a problem.

You don't have to analyze anything, it's basic english. "From" is a common word.
Yes, Focus are morons, but because they didn't send everyone download links in advance, not for using correct english on e-mails.

They changed the date to 1-2h from now in Europe and if I see it correct ~7-8h when you bought the US version. 
So I think those updated times on the store page will be more accurate.
I at least don`t expect the mail being sent earlier than this. 7-8h for me then eventually. |

When entering the official store now, you will get 11:01 German time, 10:01 British time and 11:01 EDT for the US version. |

I wouldn't mind when i get the email, except for the fact i could have gotten the game already. Much cheaper and earlier on.
I payed £26.99 for the privilege of a guaranteed download and play at midnight (1am BST) on the 20th.
And don't tell me that's not what i payed for. I pre-ordered with the promise from Focus that i would be able to download the game at midnight on the 20th, and that has not happened.
I don't care if they are a small company. My Handball club knows how to set up a mass email, with a timed release. It's not fucking hard!
I also do not understand why they keep changing the time, without stating a reason. If they put it back a few hours, fine, just provide a reason, or do it a few days before hand, not a couple of hours after the release time.
This are the most basic errors in organization that no company can afford to make. I honestly don't know why we take so much sh*t from Cyanide and Focus. Every year they release a buggy game that never gets fully patched. They take away to useful features and replace them with some bollocks ideas. They are the only company who makes such a game, but even so, they take the goddamn piss with too many things.
It is these sorts of things that make pirating look like a good idea. I can get the game for free (in essence) in 10minutes. Cyanide and Focus will not get my direct money again, and in a few hours may loose out on that 26.99 when i get a refund.
Utter shambles...
(and yes i am fucking pissed off)

Other than them being the only company that does this (not by a long shot) I'd say you nailed it

Well that pretty much sums it up.
After all just looking at PCM history there can't be no problem , too much to ask for. |
