Your lucky I have a business trip in Michigan 24-26, so I am hoping I have good internet and my laptop can run DW decently. This is why I hope it comes out tomorrow.

Status: offline 		We're working on the final release build, don't know yet if we'll have the gold master today or tomorrow. We'll let you know as soon as it's ready, as posted earlier. If I had to guess, I'd say gold master tomorrow, release on Thursday.

Why does Digital Download have to wait for Gold Master's?

I'm sure Erik feels like he's driving the car on vacation about now.

Haha, didn't know that. But in the good old Falcon 4.0 days, when anybody asked when the game or next patch was ready. The answer always was "14 days"

On the IL2 forums it was "Two weeks, be sure."

We use the term "gold master" to mean the final installer build for all release types. Once it goes "gold" here with us, it has to go through the final store QA process, which in this case should take about a day.

When the kids would do it to us on vacation my answer was always "10 more minutes".

Good Hunting.

Status: offline 		Gold Master = The game is finished, and the finished copy is through all our internal testing, we're just waiting for the final store QA to make it "able to buy". That usually takes about a day. So Gold Master = you should be able to buy it within about a day.

At this point, I expect to announce that we have a gold master tomorrow.

Do not believe him!

In fact, the Gold Master is the owner of Matrix games, and no game may be released without his say so.

He's is a Darth Vader like figure, clad in the purest gold, and stalks the offices, his golden cloak flowing behind him, bringing death to all those who do not meet his high standards of gaming.

We should all realize who our true lord is, and bow down before the Gold Master!
