Hm, Steam doesn't have the pre-order yet and I don't need the box and DVD. Living in Europe, will I be billed extra to ship these somewhat useless items across the Atlantic?

In the Matrix store, "your bought stuff" click on "generat key". That is your steam key. Worked for me.

I still remember, the few of us on this forum used to come back every month since 2014 to check on how the game was going. Difficult to believe its just a month away.

Dude, I got into DW:U around 2015, and I got decent PC back then just to be able to play the game, then around 2018-2019 I worked part time for about a year saving "for a good PC so I can play DW:2 once it came out"... I truly believed than the sequel would come out around 2020-2021, but as long as its a stable release, I won't mind waiting these extra years [:D]

As I understand it, the version the streamers are using will self-destruct on the 15th. Does that mean they won't be able to post any more after that date, even if they might have recorded them prior to it? I'm getting by in my impatience by watching the streams and I'm kind of dreading this long gap between the 15th of this month and the 10th of the next.

My new desktop arrives today, in anticipation of 3/10. It's not a monster powerhouse, but a healthy upgrade from my aging laptop. DW2 on a 32" monitor is going to be epic.

It just struck me: I'm wondering if the DW2 team are closet Nintendo nerds (MAR10, LOL).

You are experiencing the new "Time Delay" weapon from DW2. It went out automatically to those of us that pre-ordered as a bonus. It should be devastating in game when the 10th arrives.[:D][:D][:D][:D]

Any chance we can get the manual before the game releases so we can at least study :)

Apologies if this is listed somewhere and I missed it. Does anyone know what time March 10th the game launches?

Guess then I'll take the silence to indicate no one knows the time this goes live.
