    When are you guys releasing it on your website? Seems a tad unfair you get it later if you bought it direct from you doesn't it?

    totally agree. Well, 1st and the last time i'm buying it directly. Not nice TTG, not nice at all.

    thats kinda BS that Steam gets it before people who supported TTG

    I'm raging here...seriously, pull your finger out and make the game available.

    Coming from the UK I was hoping that this game would at least have been released on the site at the same time as going active on Steam (6pm BST). I purchased here on the site and I'm rather suprised that the game is still unavailable here. A 6pm release time would've given me time to download it and play it for an hour or two before logging off my PC. I guess I'll have to leave it until I get a chance to play later in the week.

    Shame :(

    I think some of you guys are getting all hot under the collar for nothing.

    Remember Steam is all about digital distribution; TT aren't. It's not that surprising they'd get it up first, is it?

    Yes, it is. That's kind of bullshit, if anything they should release it at the same time. I sure hope something changes for future episodes.

    Poor advertisement for one. I didn't know when the game will be released until a few days before actual game release date. Not to mention that Steam had the counter set and TTG doesn't. So yes, we do have a right to get frustrated, that's what forums are for to clearly state what customer thinks so the company could improve their service. It's my 1st time buying here and It's going to be the last. It's just not on.
  • edited April 2012
    I agree with what's been said before me. I would expect people who bought it directly to at least have access at the same time as Steam purchasers. Now the loyal supporters are still waiting. It's something that should never happen.

    Next time, give your own customers access first. Either that, or I'll buy through Steam and have them take their cut.

    Well this blows. I've been excited as hell for the 24th release thinking it would be ready for ipad 2 and now I get knocked down. Sad sad day.
    The release date was clearly marked as the one for PC and Mac...

    Couldn't agree you more, i was skeptical to buy it from TTG but there was no news of it coming out on Steam so i bought it and supported it from the gecko this isn't right in any means you need to provide steam keys for us now or let us download the game now.

    Just because the TT version isnt available to download at the same time as steam doesnt mean they HAVE to do anything, its not perfect, but its whats happening, be glad your getting it today at all lol

    And now the trolls come out to play. I for one am pissed and would also like to express the above before said sentiment that this is absolute bullshit. This was the first and will be the last time I order from TT directly. They can suck it. TT=75% off steam sales from now on.

    They don't, true. Hear that sound? That's the future customers leaving them. I sure as hell am.
    The least they could do would give ETA. I paid for the product 5 months in advance, I want answers now. Simple as.

    oh, yeah, like if this game is a matter of life and death....
    Oh, well, it is in fact! :D

    Patience is a Virtue people, something that most of you seem to lack. The game will be out when the games out, let them take their sweet time releasing it, IMO. I'd rather take my time playing this game than the other people on steam that will have it beaten with a 45-1 hour time period. Relax, cool your jets, have a few beers and chill. The game will come out, it's not like you paid $25 for nothing, you're not throwing it away.

    no its a matter of getting what was paid for.. we still have to sit and wait as everyone on steam gets to play.

    Did you paid for getting it at the same instant second of Steam? Where was it written?

    not to be critical.. i just dont get why everyone keeps bringing up the 45-1 hour time frame?!? that argument makes no sense. you are basically saying that if you got it off steam you will beat an estimated 2 hour game in half the time because it was purchased off steam? This is the second time i have seen this half-witted response on the forums. Dont act like the mesiah because you have more patience than others. clear and simple... people paid for the game, and if they want to vent. let them, its not a personal attack on you

    You make no sense. So what, because you bought here it's going to last longer?
    There will be no relaxing, this is how you get shit done unfortunately in this world. Again - WE ALL DEMAND ETA ON DIRECT RELEASE. Or simply i want my money back, i'll take my business elsewhere

    Ah well, I suppose I won't be playing it tonight. The big footie match between Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich starts in about half an hour or so and I won't be missing that....

    .... unless of course the referee decides to "start it when I start it" and we all have to sit around waiting for hours before he blows his whistle.

    Honestly Beukeboom, if the world operated around the kind of standards you seem to think it should, we'd all still be waiting for someone to invent the wheel.

    Listen man, I'm just give an estimated time frame, no need to act like Mr. John Wayne and attempt to be an e-badass. "Messiah" I'm just stating the obvious. Maybe I shouldn't have posted at all knowing of the maturity level I see upon these forums. I said to be patient and you lash out like a woman on her period. You need the beers if anything man. Go sit in the corner somewhere. People can vent all they want, but when you constantly bitch about a release date... Well, that pretty much just makes you look like an autistic child I want to lock in my cellar. Also, I paid for the game, do you see me crying every minute, every second because it hasn't been released yet? No, you do not.. Reminds me of good ol' WoW days. Nerds like you need to walk off a cliff.

    I think you are missing the point of why people are complaining. The majority of the anger is not because of being unable to play it, but because of the principals behind being loyal to the developer and buying it from their own website BEFORE the game was close to being released and probably opening up some likely needed development revenue, and then finding out just a few days before release it appears on Steam AND gets released before those who chose the first option.

    I would dearly love to play this tonight, but it is unlikely. I would have been able to if I'd bought from Steam. At the end of the day, I'm not really that bothered about the loss of game time, but I am bothered about the above principal being thrown aside by TTG.

    out of all the people that quoted you on this... you choose me to be in impatient one? i really didnt say anything other than just let them vent? unless you want to be a prick and take the "45-1 hour" comment to heart? based on your "LOGICAL" response to my statement we can honestly see where the "woman on her period" really resides. Better off i didnt degrade myself to the point of making elementary style jokes to make myself feel better about my argument. nor did i bitch about the release date, i said in a more intelligent way... was that is was merely exceptable for a consumer to bitch about what they paid for and you shouldnt take it as a personal attack. But hey the next time you want to go buy new tires for your big wheel and they dont show, maybe you will understand.

    Ah bugger you're right. My "footie telly" doesn't have Sky and was looking forward to it on ITV. Now I realise its the other way around. Bah - will have to settle for low res SkyGo on my PC :S

    As a gamer i can wait no big deal as a consumer or custermor i really do expect to have my product on time and when doing a direct buy id expect it faster than having to go to a 3rd party to get my product.

    I'm also pretty peeved off at this, but in reality guys, raging about it isn't going to change anything. Nor is digging into other forum members for trying to calm a situation down. The best way to show your dissatisfaction towards TTG is to not purchase their games from their website anymore.
    If you are really only bothered about the principal of getting it late, just pretend you have it on Steam but are currently busy doing something else, or just do something else?
    TellTale losing revenue from this situation is the biggest hit they will take.

    I take nothing to heart anyone says on the forums man, I apologize if I insulted you, but you gotta take it from both POV's it's annoying as hell to constantly see post after post of "OMG ITS NOT OUT YET" "TAKING MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE." "F**K you TTG" It's annoying. A simple post to tell people to remain patient is now escalating into an immature argument between two people that don't know shit about one another. Once again, let me be the bigger man and apologize for my words and or actions if it offended you. Enough of the carebear tears and just wait for game. As you stick to your guns I of course, stick to mine.

    im fine with traveling the bigger man route, like i said before no need for elementary bs. You didnt offend me, i think you didnt see my entire post before you decided it was a disagreement with you, as i probably did the same i suppose.

    long story short... i was "almost" agreeing with you.. people are gonna vent. its a losing battle and they have that right. I dont like stooping to childish tactics i guess was the point of my last post (even though i did with the big wheel crack)
