Hmm, good thing I'm not home this evening (and yes, that was some pretty bad planning...), or I just might've bought it on GOG in addition to here, just to get it earlier.
5pm UTC = 6pm uk time, 7 pm european time, 1pm eastern american time etc etc. GOG is not getting the game any earlier than steam is

I think it stinks that those of us who bought it from GoG, have to wait for the stupid steam clock. I hate steam, hate it, hate it, hate it.

They have to have a set time for release, or people will complain that 'X got the game before me', and since steam has a set time that games release every day, it sort of makes sense to stick to that for everyone.

Call me sensitive but I have a vague feeling you may dislike Steam?

LoL. If my pet cat was steam. I would leave it out in the cold and wet feeding it only on jelly babies.

I don't see any logical reasons to hate Steam, I see only trivialities and hate issues. Instead, you should rather cherish it, as Steam is currently the sole reason PC gaming is still alive and kicking!

Well, it's a mixed blessing for me. I was going by that other countdown clock, and had planned around 13.00 for it. BUT, now I have to wait until 19.00, which means I can actually do some work. The same work, in fact, that I was planning to totally blow-off in order to hit Grimrock a.s.a.p.
