Cata relese... its because of the financial year!

[stoptryingtohitme]

The financial year finishes at the end of march, so they dont want to screw up their profits ect so thats why (i beleive) they are relesing on the 1st of april... the dont want to go into deficit before profit (is deficit the right word?) so its either that or their being gimps =)

Well officially releasing the game on the 1st of April would be worse for profits for Game. Afteral the financial year is a few days after that still.

Anyways, this would make very little difference, even if they didn't sell the products it wouldn't go down as them having lost any profit as it would be sitting there in the form of stock as it so close to the end of the year, it wouldn't be written off as a loss. But nevermind that

So do we have a real reason why when the servers are patched on the 24th March, and all ready to go why we in the UK (no where else) have to wait till the 1st April to be able to play the new content ??

Seem to be a little shity.

we already have about 4 threads on this and shock horror there's explanations about the release date in all of them.

Try reading something before you post. Use the "search" button maybe?

Locking this one in the vague hope that people read the other threads
