julz_d Posted May 10, 2016 Even IGN can't have one. What makes the other random people able to get a copy of doom? 0 Share this post Link to post
Chest Rockwell Posted May 10, 2016 1. Stores like target can fuck up sometimes and just sell it early 2. Stores in 2nd world countries like UAE and brazil break street date all the time 0 Share this post Link to post

You'd think those stores would get into a lot of bother. 0 Share this post Link to post

There are probably numerous legal or government loopholes that allow the retailers to say, "Don't care, kthxbye" as they disregard letters from Bethesda's legal team. 0 Share this post Link to post
Buckshot Posted May 11, 2016 Stealing it out of the stockroom, maybe? I mean, let's be serious, the folks guarding your local Walmart copies aren't being paid nearly enough to have a copy (or two) go "missing", nor are they protecting something under such scrutiny like gold at Ft. Knox. In fact, the person responsible for inventory probably has no idea what doom is. 0 Share this post Link to post

Publishers just refuse to do business with you if you do that, but it's not something that can affect the small mom & pop stores. 0 Share this post Link to post

Seems with every passing day, more and more people get their hands on a copy of Doom 4 and spoil something. Hope there's still some surprises in the campaign left. 0 Share this post Link to post

Walmart the same place where the stupid alarm goes off when elderly people try to leave the store with their groceries Because A cashier forgot to scan an item right. Honestly I don't know . 0 Share this post Link to post

Enforcer Posted May 11, 2016 I'm going to hold my copy in my hands in about 1 hour :) 0 Share this post Link to post
pipapoh Posted May 11, 2016 As a former electronic store owner in germany I want to give you a little insigt. In europe ist publisher->major reseller->stores So to guarantee Doom is in stores 13th, the store itself gets the game the same week. Sometimes there is a huge yellow sticker on the packages "do not sell before XX" an that you will be charged xxxxx€ if you violate that embargo. Fifa 14 was "up to 200.000€" if I remember correctly. Games like Skyrim came without such a sticker. GTA V was about the same as Fifa14. I just handed the games to friends or importent customers since the publishers cant identify which reseller broke the embargo. Dont try that with Apple or Samsung. They check all IMEIs and the know exactly witch reseller around the world sold the iPhone before the official kickoff. 0 Share this post Link to post
Amph Posted May 11, 2016 official release date, is not equal to the official release date for distributors, they get it early to distribute to you in the right date, but soem of them selle them early to soemone, because he is a firend or whatever, or the store it self play it and upload video 0 Share this post Link to post
Otus Posted May 11, 2016 A few minutes ago i received the message that my copy is on their way. I ordered in austria but live in germany. So i guess at least the austrian people will receive their games tomorrow. And maybe i got mine too, if the postal service is fast enough. I cant imagine that this is a single case. Maybe a lot of people will get their games on 12th. 0 Share this post Link to post

Voros Posted May 11, 2016 Just a small question? Is the whole pre load thing for PC version only? Or it applies for the Ps4 and XONE consoles too? 0 Share this post Link to post
Edward850 Posted May 11, 2016 It applies to all digital distribution. So yes, consoles included. In fact the Xbox had it first for a week or so. 0 Share this post Link to post
Otus Posted May 11, 2016 Am i confusing this with Fallout 4 where you have to download the major part of the game anyways. Even when bought the retail version? 0 Share this post Link to post
pipapoh Posted May 11, 2016 Yes, you have to download 45GB via steam since retail only contains 1 DVD. 0 Share this post Link to post
pipapoh Posted May 11, 2016 No since consoles got Bluray out of the box. 0 Share this post Link to post
