Why the FUCK are publishers unable to release a game on a fucking friday so you can play for the weekend?

why the FUCK are publishers unable to release a game on a fucking friday so you can play for the weekend?

i've already preloaded deus ex and now have to wait until tuesday so i can play it. but i have to work on focking tuesday

WHY

because someone already asked if its available on friday, why couldn't it be available the tuesday beforehand?

You didn't get enough players to Pre-Order Human Revolution(TM), that's why!

But you can still play next weekend? What difference does it make you retard?

Get over yourself kiddo

dont you want to immediately play a game when its released? who wants to be cucked out of their expierience by existential bullshit like having to work

Because normal people on Fridays party outside and with their friends. :)
That only leaves workdays for them to enjoy their videogames.

you can blame sega and sonic for 'sonic tuesday'.

look it up.

Same reason you can't deposit cheques at the bank over the weekend.

>Game comes out on Tuesday
>Bongland has to wait another 3 days for it to come out on the following Friday
It really doesn't work

>Sega launched a $10 million advertising campaign for Sonic the Hedgehog 2's release. Sega sought a global release date to make the game available in all stores on the same day, a fairly novel concept at the time. This required Sega to reconfigure its distribution system to ensure that games were available in all major stores. The release date, Tuesday, November 24, 1992 was marketed as "Sonic 2s day". While the Genesis release in North America and the Mega Drive release in Europe both released the game on this day, Sega made the game available a few days before in Japan on November 21, 1992. 400,000 copies of Sonic 2 were sold in the first seven days after release and over 6 million in the life span of the console.

wtf i hate sonic now

>2016
>not being NEET master race

You have no one to blame but yourself, wagecuck

So you play an hour or two every evening when you get home OP. I'm in the same Boat.

Or take a day off

Because if 50% of the users turned out to have crash issues from just starting the game there would be nobody to make hotfixes for the game until monday.

Not everyone is off on weekends. Hell I'm at work now.

i'll remember you when i'm playing the game on my 2000$ gaming rig, sitting in my comfy 300$ desktop chair

>Sonic 2 shit
Isn't it because Tuesday is traditionally the slowest retail day of the week? Releasing something on that day provides a massive spike on what would otherwise be a dip.

console peasant detected

the game looks quite good on PS4, any info how it will look on PC?

Nintendo always releases big games on Friday

>inb4 Nintendo is shit

That's not the point

So publishers can bitch out the devs to start work on a patch without worry of them ducking because "weekend."

So the people who launch the game can fix the servers when they break at launch.

Fuckin modern gaming man

I think it has to do with how they track sales for week 1 of a game. I think a company who did it before started their weekly tracking on Tuesday so they released on Tuesday so they could get the highest number possible

WTF I HATE THE PENIS HOG NOW.
