Who did wrong? The advertiser hired to sell the game or the consumer who put faith in advertising? |

Originally posted by bwinthehouse Dear God, please don't skip your first weeks of college for a video game. You'll never be able to live with yourself later. Here's the thing that sucks about becoming an adult. You have to start making the right choice instead of the fun choice. I can gaurentee you, by the end of college, you will have completely forgotten about missing the launch of GW2. |

Originally posted by Castillle I can explain that. The weekend before is a free trial on some servers for the general public and early access for anyone who pre-purchased the game. The headstart is on saturday. :) |

Games always launch on Tuesdays (at least in Europe) because of the way sales figures get calculated. BTW, the 'bulk' of gamers are NOT still in school. |

There is no rule books when it comes to launching a game. It would make better sense to release the game on August 27, Monday, so people who prepurchased it could have the friday followed by the weekend to play it but meh we got the rest of the decade to play it :p |

Wow, I forgot that my audience here was bitter unemployed college grads who can player this game any time of the year because they do not have a job. I speak for the majority and younger part of the community when I say that this release date is horrible. How did they chose this one in the board room? Did they not consider that a majority of their buyers would be extremely stressed out with starting school again? Such a bad business move, they should have considered the happiness of the majority. |

I think OP has a point. There are tons and tons of college students all around the country, quite a bit of them are gamers. Whats wrong with maneuvering the release date to best receive the $$ from these potential customers? What probably really happened is they could not make a pre-summer release date.
