There you go!
There is no point reasoning with people who already made up their mind that this is nothing but Sony marketing deal. Last week they were asking why trailer with steam logo was removed that had March 10 release date. Now we know, pc version is not out until the 17th.... until there is any sort of decent proof I feel this is just square enix being stupid and nothing to do with Sony. Maybe they want people to preorder the console version so they can ship more copies to retailers on day one, especially the more expensive black box edition and so are being vague. Something like dqh 2 isn't going to be as popular as nier seems to be so they probably announced the pc version ahead of time.
Edit: now that it is official, maybe grief can connect the dots on the announcement today.....

I wonder if he's finally going to admit there was something wrong with the PC version or just gonna continue with the Sony moneyhat! conspiracy theory again.

I would have gotten this on pc if mine isn't garbo.
Yea would love to see some of these people admit they were being a little ridiculous to almost calling people stupid for thinking it may not be a Sony deal thing...
I didn't really get the Sony deal thing.
Raven777 even translated the Dengeki stream where they said they were waiting for the newest Denuvo patch, and that it wouldn't be long.

That's so nice of Sony.
Again, that has nothing to do with removing the Steam logo from every marketing material and website.
It is pretty obvious there is or has been a marketing deal with Sony.

Yeah, communication disappeared, release date was kept secret for 2 weeks before the actual launch. I'm sure that's because SE had to finish the game and miraculously did it.
If anything, this just shows nothing technical was involved in that silence. So much for being so elusive, going from Early 2017 to 2017... When it's a week later.
Same for the removal in marketing material. I'm sure it happened because the PC version was so late they werent sure to hit in time. :")

This game was one of my best experiences with a video game in a while, and honestly, what it needed the most was a stable framerate. PC users are in for a good time.

I hope it has Dualshock button icons as an option. Otherwise I'll just go with the PS4 version.
Just today another group picked up cracking Denuvo with their first successful crack.
Good luck SE.
Not sure why you'd think it wasn't a moneyhat because they finally confirmed something after several leaks. Not like they could continue to pretend it didn't exist for much longer.
Also, LMAO @ "something wrong with the PC version"
because they magically fix the PC version in a week, am I right? They magically remove all the mentions from marketing because of a problem fixed with one week delay, right?
LMAO.
The only people being delusional are the people saying that "Sony wouldn't ever do this, no sir, they are totally #4thegamers!!!!!! never did a marketing deal in their lives, Square Enix is just a bunch of headless chickens in a studio!!!!"

Just doesn't make sense to advertise for a system when you don't know when that version will be ready - especially if it comes down to denuvo.

Can't even stand by your own comment. SMH.
Just so you know, platinum did fix a game breaking bug in the PS4 version in a day. They still have 15 days to work on the PC version for a patch or whatever.
They said they were concerned of piracy and waiting on a patch on denuvo. They want to push the version that is not going to be hacked and hence removed the logos. See I can come up with reasons for a company to be stupid. It was never about not being ready because they initially announced for simultaneous release and then as it got close to release, they removed logos, the director said ask square enix and don't worry it won't be too long. Sony hasn't done a deal with a third party where they are not even publishing to keep quiet until 2 weeks before release. Whatever I am done arguing, keep believing what you want to believe and maybe one day we will get concrete proof on what actually happened.
Wow..... yea all these leaks made them break their contract. Keep fighting the good fight bro....

double post.
Nah, that's complete and utter bullshit. Even if it was delayed for a month that wouldn't be a reason to completely remove it from marketing material. That's not how it works.
Yes man, huge issues with PC ports that go as far as needing to have mentions removed from marketing are totally solved with one week delay. Totally.
You keep editting and adding things, relax man.
About the last part (for now), what people said is that Nier is not a game worth moneyhatting, much less in this period of the year where ps4 has seen a constant flux of awesome releases.
I guess as you're so convinced it was a moneyhat, S-E just decided to give back the money because a couple of gaf threads were pressuring them right?
All the mentions being removed was something done way, way, way fucking before Denuvo on RE7 was cracked.

Your words. Not mine.
Yes, a week of delay which means they now have 15 extra days to work on the PC version.

Mountain, meet molehill.
Whether it was a pointless 1-week exclusivity deal or simple mismanagement, it doesn't matter now.
It's announced, it's being released, get it (or don't) on whatever system you'd prefer.
Talk about wasted breath.

Hey sense, people just cracked Deus Ex Mankind Divided DLC that was released a week ago today, hence the new "Denuvo patch" is already fucked.
So, you think that dumb excuse is true and they will delay the game once more, given that the reason they had for a small delay just got turned into a reason for a bigger delay?

Lots of tales from people's asses here. Nice to see a confirmed date!
But the date they removed from marketing was wrong, so I don't understand how that's a point.
Whatever the imaginary deal was, it has to be broken now and there is no breaking a contract without compensation, unless the moneyhat stated that they couln't say nothing before a random afternoom on march 2nd, becuase that totally makes sense. I'm just connecting the dots here

Well at least it's finally gotten an official date. Trying to decide if I want to get this on PS4 (vanilla) first or PC (i5-6500 + RX480) first. Either way, I'm double dipping for both versions.
They removed all mentions in any marketing , not just marketing about the release date. How hard is to understand this?
That is correct.
Nope.

The only thing that's ever gotten removed was a trailer with an incorrect release date on it.
Hardly an inconceivable turn of events even if the game's producer hadn't already explained away why there was going to be a small delay!

No, they removed even just the steam logo from material. Stuff that didn't have a date.
