I concede you have the game, before you are suposed to.
However you didn't answer my question of how is steam "grubbing money" and how are THEY the bad guys for sticking to the date the game maker decided for its release date?
I mean I understand, you have the game, you are mad you can't play it, however, its the game store's fault for selling it early.
Guys, please don't attack the OP. He has made himself clear and the point has been made several times that the game will not unlock until Friday, even if a copy was sold due to a broken street date.

You quoted me so I guess your post was aimed at me, but I'm not the guy who was getting mad about all this. I just wanted to confirm with a picture that they're indeed already selling the game at some shops, which is fine for me since I wouldn't have much time picking up my pre-order at friday anyway
100+ replies to a thread where someone doesn't understand what a release date is? You must all be bored
I don't think D-Mich is upset with anyone, I think they are just showing that they too got the game box early. Unlike the OP, they seem to understand that the game was not supposed to be launched yet.
So, I got the pre-ordered retail version of Skyrim as well from a gaming store in Belgium today and I too got the cloth map.
As the OP, I went to the store and got the game, came home and tried to install it right away, then I also saw I needed steam for it to install, but it wouldn't let me (Because it hasn't officially launched yet blabla). Same happened to me when I got my pre-ordered retail version of Dead Island one or two days before its release so I wasn't that surprised now. Kinda annoyed with the fact that it can be played on console with no problem over here tho, but okay I'm used to that by now.
The only difference between Dead Island and Skyrim now is that I was able to preload Dead Island on steam back then, I can't do this with Skyrim now tho, so I'm kinda scared something went wrong and I won't be able to play it on 11-11-11 either, just because I happened to get it early, can someone tell me if this is true or not please?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Not at all you eather live in some remote little village that have a small local store selling 2 games a year or not have been to gameshops today in rotterdam?
In rotterdam word het verkocht in bijna alle shops dus weet niet waar jij vandaan kom, heb zelf net game gekocht in de winkel, gamemania heb hem ge pre-ordered.
A shamed nice:D
Schaam jij je om mij das lachen:P
Translate: In rotterdam the game is sold in most shops so dont know where you come from but ive bought game myself today in shop gamemania pre-order it.
Get you facts straight before accusing someone and shamed?... why i wonder haha.

Don't forget steamworks contains inbuilt spy/malware and is worse than useless as copy protection so there will be ways around the drm within a few hours of the games release if you don't want to go without that part.
If I recall, steam lets you pre-load the game a day or so before release, not always a week+ before release.
Okay good, thank you.
Or they live some place where they are, you know following the laws...
Worst happens, you'll probably just install it from the cd on launch date like back in the day. I assume steam would let you pre-load a day or so before though.
If I had to guess, Steam might be holding out on the pre-loads while they anticipate and prepare for the large amount of server loads from people downloading Skyrim. But then again, allowing pre-loading a week or so before could only help the server load at launch. =/
This about sums it up. It is a slow news day, afterall. I think there might have been a big war-game released today too that might be interfering with other coverage.
I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
Then you eather can't understand english or just don't wanne understand my view just only your own?
I understand perfectly what release date is lol.

Im from holland also and Skyrim is not for sale in any gameshops untill 11-11 so stop lieing and whining.
Read what other people are sayign instead of crying like a little child about pirated versions which ''the people'' you know are already playing.
Seriously how maney replys do you need untill you understand how it works. Shame on you
Then what's the issue? The game hasn't been officially released, shops are selling the game when they've been asked to release it on the 11th and you are complaining that you should be able to play a game that is supposed to be released on the 11th?

For those that are accusing the OP of lying, here's the story on Kotaku on how the game is already being sold in the Netherlands.

The fact that he didnt pay attention to the release date aside....
Title says Steam Hacked....what's this all about?
Curious, did the mod edit out all the articles and punctuation of his post, or does he really just not know how to talk?
The steam forums suffered from a minor injection attack, which has since been corrected. The steam forum login info is separate from steam account info (provided people didn't re-use the same username/password), so even if the purpotrators got any info (which there's no evidence they did), it shouldn't affect actual Steam accounts.
Meh. Steam. Hate it. Really hope this isn't one of those things where I have to have an online connection to play a single player game. That makes zero sense. I miss the days where a mandatory constant online connection wasn't required and you could download patches at your leisure when you did have a connection. I thought I was buying the game. Not renting. Its like the Big Brother of the gaming industry. The game should work right out of the box when downloaded onto the computer with no other requirements. Meh. I'll wait till the game arrives to see the truth of it and I'll save any complaining for if it turns out to be a pain in the rear.
You're not "forced." Most people want to log on through steam each time so that they are connected to their gaming friends. That's one of steam's primary functions. Thus, it is the default setting. If you do not wish to connect through steam, you don't have to.
The issue would be, PC Gamers have to wait and console gamers can play right now. I don't know why they don't add a feature to lock the game on consoles as well because it is pretty unfair that they can ignore the rules while PC gamers wait.
So, the OP is upset that he can't play a game before the release date and is railing against steam?
Perhaps board games are more in line for for the OP, since he obviously can't grasp basic concepts like not being able to play before a release date. My 4 year old niece loves Candyland, perhaps you should give it a try.
Just because some people are breaking the rules does not give you the right to do so too. Grow up and accept the fact that you are going to have to wait until the 11th to play like everyone else.
I think you're the only one on this thread that has understood what the OP is talking about.
I guess he bought the PC version and since the PC version uses Steam as DRM/Registration he can't play the game until the 10th (Steam changed the released date to the 10th for those that don't know).
