Maybe they found a big glitch and they're fixing it? Would you rather have the game released with a horrible glitch or released later with the glitch fixed?

Yeah I'm sure they were doing last minute testing 30 minutes before the release. Where's that eyerolling emoticon?

they aren't gonna fix a big glitch in approximately 3 hours (unless valve went into a dream state, in which case they could)

It's what they did with L4D2. :p (Or was it L4D1? I don't remember.)

The eyeroll one is : rolleyes :, without the spaces :rolleyes:
Yep, now we will see people raging over not getting a free game ontime. :rolleyes:

That's nonsense. It is most likely server and network related that the game has been delayed by a few hours.

I'm willing to wait, really. It's already super duper awesome that it's free. >:]

When you promise something and you don't deliver on time, you'll surely piss some people off. Even if its free.

Yeah, I don't think they have recently found a game-breaking glitch (if they did it would probably take more than 3 hours to fix), but maybe they could still use the extra hours to squash a couple more bugs. *knee-slap*
Aww...it looks like unoriginal humor is all I got left. I need to get into a game quickly.

I don't really care, but it would have been nice to be able to play it today, and not tomorrow.
I find the delay strange, though.

The problem is that I'll be asleep when it comes out, as it now stands :(
i'm sure they decided to play themselves for a while before noobs connect to servers..
anyway if there is a delay chill the game will come out eventually.. you're not going to die for waiting extra hours..

Not really the problem that they delay it, more that they keep pulling stunts like this. Delaying in the last hours or so. They did the same with the Polycount contest. Valve time is not funny anymore.

I just don't understand how 3 more hours could do anything else than piss us all off :(

Its possible that a few people may die during those extra hours. And they will have died never having the chance to play this game. :(

you'd think they've have everything figured out if they set a release time and get within 2hours of it lol

I would send couple guys with Vuvuzelas to the office of Valve, if I had enough money.

Now with a big glitch. Big glitches can be very entertaining.

LOL @ OP that thinks the delay is because of a big glitch.
I just find it funny how on Steam (owned by Valve) that ONLY Valve games are delayed with their unlock times.

Yup. Oh, you wacky guys, always releasing things late! It's not about the delay, it's about the fundamental lack of professionalism.
