maybe because it will still be the 17th in the states?

Yeah but they should have made a different announcement to Euro and Asian/Oceanic players saying the 18th!
Thats all they needed to do. Valve have to learn that Steam is a global product and must be treated as such.

These users have more things to worry about than an in-game overlay causing a crash.

It isn't coming out for at least another 5-7 hours. Goto bed people. It'll be live when you wake up. *Cross fingers*

Thats all they needed to do. Valve have to learn that Steam is a global product and must be treated as such.

and players need to learn that valve is based in USA, along with a large portion of their client base. If they dont say a specifc time, then you should always assume they will be releasing it sometime in the american time zone.

People forget that valve didnt need to do this, they didnt have to release a public beta. People should be thankfull that valve decided to do this, even if they didnt give a specific time.

Yep and also you cannot decide on a good time for a global product, some time zones are so far in front and behind of others.

Considering they are based in America they should release it during their working hours or whatever to suit them, not another country.
