That would actually work quite well for me - my new annual leave year starts 01 Nov :).

I'm wondering if this might be a bit of a strong-armed move on Steam's behalf and will force Egosoft/Deepsilver to either name a price or lose the sales via Steam.
Not really, they do the same thing for a lot of games. What makes you think Valve care anyway?

Er, how does mid October equate early November?

I don't think they care, which is why I thought they might drop it if they can't sell it.

I believe silentWitness hails from Down Under and thus may be referring to an Australian release date--or she may just be being overly pessimistic; difficult to say, really. :-)

Okay so the manual machine is broken.

Does this mean Egosoft are going to delay the steam release as well ?

That is a decision for the publisher not Egosoft.

ehh...do you remember X3? the release SHOULD have been pushed back 4-5 months to correct the glitches that were in the game...or else we should have received our money back for beta testing the darn game for them!

Ok, how do I cancel my pre-order?

I am not going to wait for all of these extra delays, s**t happens and all that but I will just purchase it off of Steam when it has actually been released. The book would have been nice, but I can live without it.

*EDIT*

I pre-ordered from the Egosoft shop, not from elsewhere.

Perhaps because money has changed hands and I won't get the product when it was originally supposed to be available. That, and the fact that I am away on business for 3 weeks on the 19th.

It was a simple request really...

meh!
Not bothered really, I won't be getting it until Christmas as I can't play it until then anyway.

Currently, it's only 2 weeks late.

I just cancelled an order for a camera bag from 7dayshop that I ordered (and paid for) 6 weeks ago they their website claimed were in stock. If you want excuses, theirs were:

"We don't have it yet"
and
"We don't know when it will be in stock."

At least Egosoft are telling you and keeping you updated, and it's not as though 2 weeks is a long time.....
