Why on EARTH would I pre-order from UBISOFT!!!

Haha! Great minds think alike! I just made basically the same post a few hours ago in the Poll about Steam users thread.

Can I order the English version from 1C? I like 1C better.

The only thing we know is that the publishing situation must be complicated between Ubi, 1C and Steam/Valve. Quite likely there's some complex contract involved about who is allowed to publish which version at which time - otherwise I don't see how the game wouldn't be shown at least as a "coming soon" title on Steam.

I'll gladly wait until that clears up though, I'm on vacation anyway during the release week

Hmm thanks for the info. I havent even really thought about all the percentages and such. I'll stick with steam then. hopefully maddox gets a bigger piece of the cake and meanwhile I can happily avoid Ubisuck.

First time I mailed Ubisoft it really should have been obvious though... I wanted to receive details on how to order the Collectors Edition of il2 sturmovik cliffs of dover formerly know as battle of britain:storm of war here in Holland.

They replied with:

Maybe, but I think 1C publishing only for Russian customers.

I hear you. The thing that drives most people impatient and we have all this bickering among ourselves (we're all guilty of that and i'll be the first to raise my hand and admit it) is that this complicated situation between different publishers and platforms results in a slow trickle of information on matters relating directly to our ability to purchase the title.

On the other hand, even if the level of conversation can descend to some low standards and we're all getting repetitive from time to time, all this impatience is still a sign of enthusiasm about the title so it's not all bad

I'm lucky enough to have a relative studying in the UK, so i managed to get an order for the collector's edition placed. Then i'm going to be biting my nails until it arrives: will it be misplaced if it's shipped via mail, or will my relative forget to put it in the baggage before going to the airport to return back home?
