El_Che asks: Why wasn't this game available for preload on Steam? Right now Steam is going down because of it, and at least I can't download the game I bought.

Moderating Hero: We're getting a few of these. Do you know?

Kieran Brigden: No problem, this is a genuine issue. Sadly it's one that's out of CA's hands. The Steam preload was something we wanted to do but for regional reasons we aren't able to implement. I'm sorry if it's caused a problem for anyone, which I know it has for some. All I can say it was our intention to offer this and we weren't able to do so for technical reasons outside our control.
