I don't think anybody thinks the date is set in stone but it's not encouraging is it. If they would have said on or before September then I'd be a bit more understanding but giving themselves the best part of 8 1/2 months of already old content is ridiculous. If the game was going to be this far away we should have had an extra patch, it's bullshit that they have time to add cash shops and character boosts without adding new content to the game.
^this lol. that date puts "soon" on another level lol. on or before is like saying "something is going to happen at anytime between today and 5 years from now....maybe...."
i sure to HELL hope its not really that far off. cause damn. thats ridiculous if it is. hoping for at MOST june
You are the only one to blame here. If you buy the games when they actually come out, instead of preordering a game months before its release, you wouldn't load your credit card. Why not buy the game when they come out or when you plan to play them, not only is it more responsible "financially" (yes that's only $50), but it also doesn't give Blizz money up front. BTW, if you go to the restaurant, an expensive one, try to avoid paying up front, because if you end up with a crappy experience, you will only have yourself to blame for that too. Don't pre-order movie tickets that just announced its first teaser too.
Hello. I am an university student, almost done with my masters in engineering, already have a stable source of income, those 10€ wouldn't make me any poorer yet I'm complaining.
If you stopped for a second you'd realise it's not about the price but the idea that Blizzard can rise the prices without consequences and everyone will comply like lemmings.
But that's too hard, is it?
40 SEK for an expac when all the others have been closer to 300?
Latest date set for the release is December?
The first is very aggrevating.
The latter is very worrying. Your latest date set is December. You seriously expect that it -could- take that long? If you can't give a reliable date, don't give one at all.
To all the people scoffing about "get a real job if you don't like the price kiddies" in a self-satisfied manner. Some of us have perfectly good incomes and plenty of cash and still don't want to give it to Blizzard for this shitshow of an expansion. I would sooner go to a bar and drink the $50 away in cocktails. Last nail in the coffin for me, I might try it when they inevitably want to start giving it away for free or for cheap 6 months after release when another few million have quit.
I bet it will get released b4 that..
and at the same time make me worry, that they set the "no later than" in the end of 2014
To the people complaining about the price, you do know there are other places to buy it from for a much lower price right?
