Time in which game unlocks

On steam it says game unlocks in approx 21hours, so that must mean it'll be 6pm (gmt). Is this right?

It's 21 hours after your current time Tongue

9 hours for me, since I bought it from their own Store.

Yes, exactly... 21 hours is 21 hours. Steam is based on US time. Each time, there is a release on Steam, i already know, that i have to wait till evening.

. what has been seen, cannot be unseen .

RE: Time in which game unlocks

A question:

In shelf.frictionalgames.com it is stated that
"Download coming 8.00 am GMT+1!"

Does that mean there's still 2h to wait or has Frictional Games forgotten that the current Swedish time is GMT+2 due to DST, and thus the info is wrong and there's only 1h to wait?

Quote supporting the latter:

The rest of the services I think launch the game when they begin their work days, which is 6-8 hours after us as they are all US based.

Swedish time is always GMT+1, as Britain and Sweden have the same DST dates. GMT always includes DST.
You're probably thinking of UTC, which is the actual international standard for time derived from GMT, and changes with DST.
