I snagged the regular version of the game since I’m a bit strapped for cash, but I’m really excited to dive into this masterpiece! I noticed some folks are already playing a day before the official early access launch on the 23rd. Does anyone know how they’re managing to do that?

People with physical copies might be getting them early due to shipping issues or sneaky retailers. Some game stores push the release date and sell before the official date, especially in smaller towns. It’s pretty common, especially if they don’t follow the launch rules strictly.
Yeah, I’ve seen that too! Some stores just seem to have looser rules. It’s a bummer for those of us who have to wait, though, especially those of us who shelled out for fancy editions!
Time zones play a huge role, too! If someone is in New Zealand or Australia, they get access to the game a day ahead of places like the U.S. Since it’s already midnight there, they can start playing while most of us are still waiting.
Totally! I live in a small town in France, and some local shops just don’t care about the official launch date. They sell games as soon as they have them in stock, sometimes even a week early. This is a hidden perk of living in a rural area!
