    Default Why do they do this to me?

    http://www.gamespot.com/end-of-natio...e/platform/pc/

    Is there anyway that we can communicate to both IGN, and Gamespot that unless they have the actually release date not to crush, and tear my hopes asunder with their false prophecies.

    Edit: I've just now written both of them hopefully to get some of their pages cleared up. A 'Unknown' listed there under their release date section would be better than staring at a March 31st, and Q1 2013 date, and hopefully I won't be so irrated everytime I go to check, and see that.

    Edit2: and Gamestop still has it available for pre-order?

    This is almost assuredly an issue with the site itself. Gamestop release dates are notoriously inaccurate, especially for products that aren't in beta, and can change several times over the course of a game's development. In many cases, they're estimates or guesses.

    Never trust a Gamestop release date without independent confirmation elsewhere.

    I know you're excited about End of Nations... God knows, I am too. But you might want to pick up something else in the meantime. Perhaps Dota 2 or League of Legends? Get involved in the community for another game while you're waiting for more End of Nations news.

    I think I saw somewhere that you're planning on making EON your primary title when it comes out. I can sympathize with that, I am as well! But I'd go insane if I did nothing but check the EON forums again and again with no news. Seriously, learn MOBAs. They're very complex with a lot of moving parts, and by the time you learn the genre well, we'll probably be swimming in EON updates.

    Yeah I've been playing a lot of Shogun 2, and Dawn of War 2: Retribution. As well as reading from the Black Library.

    I love DOW2. My steam ID is bcasteel85 if you want to play a match (2v2 or last stand or even 1v1 I guess). Also, I'm huge into Dota 2 if you play that.

    My Steam ID is brownupstruck. I am always up for a good matach of DoW2, and as far as DOTA. I have not played it, but I've always heard great things about it, including that one swedish techno song devoted to it. Maybe its time to start playing it if it would help with my Micro.

    I wouldnt say DOTA2 will help your micro more than SC2, but it's definitely a good place to go to learn the genre. Beware the insanely high learning curve, and massive burden of knowledge, once you overcome those it's a really fun game xD

    Well I could always go back to SC2, and try to get my Redstone Brood badge for zerg. I miss my zerg... Econ for them is a ***** though.

    Steam powered right? If so I'll probably get it when I get home today.
