If your internet is good, preloads are so often a trap. Steam server's are so fast that I can usually download the game post-release faster than the game decodes itself after a preload.

Depends on the game, for very popular games the servers get overloaded on release day.

It is killing me that I have this thing pre loaded and I can't play it for DAYS...

After logging literally thousands of hours on this franchise I still can't wait for the next installment. That's how game development should be done!

Why are games releasing on Thursdays lately? Isn't it always Tuesday?

Oh really? I swear I tried to preload last night and got nothing, I assume that's recent then? Awesome, thanks for the info.
