No point in going to a midnight release. PC players can't even play the damn game until steam unlocks it sometime in the afternoon. So, I was going to midnight release, but not anymore.
I don't think that is going to happen. Bethesda and Obsidian have planned to be at several launch parties. At midnight. They have announced where in another thread. Link below.
Do you really think Bethesda is going to want some upset fan coming in at 12:15 screaming "You svck I can't play this game!!!" in front of the gaming press and cell phone cameras? I don't think they are going to let that happen.
Yes, the count down timer at Steam says into the day, but they set that clock weeks ago and erred on the side of caution on when it would go live. Or the clerk who input the data messed up on the time zone date line continuum while she was pissed at her boyfriend and texting Margie-Jo about the loser she was dating while waiting for the nail polish to dry as she was going out on the prowl. I think you get the point I am trying to make.
