I just want to play the game.

[Kantham]

Here's something I really don't understand.

There are a bunch of videos over youtube of people playing the game like if they have a beta or something. I go to FileShack and download the "demo", which I quickly found that it limits you to play like 3 custom tracks before it ask you to buy the game. I already bought the game like almost everyone here. Why do we have to wait for Friday? I mean, if we have the game pre-downloaded, it sure isn't because the game isn't ready yet.

How these people actually play the game is what I wonder, but if it's what I'm thinking then it's just wrong to have to wait for Friday for us the people who actually bought the game legally.

There were 2 betas, but they were limited to a weekend apiece.  The videos are most likely old.

It's called a Pre-Order for a reason mate.

Patience, we are ALL waiting.

They probably modified their registry entries to allow for more custom song playing.

Somethingawful was running a cracked server for a while, also.

[Boeboe]

Let's just say, that with the final release, all ways to circumvent the limitation are an absolute taboo now

[FireBreath]

Even with the final release, I fear these hacked up copies will remain in the shadows    They don't get the benefit of the oh-so-awesome-leaderboards though, which is one of the main reasons I think Audiosurf is so great.

Actually, I think it's a really great idea (for Dylan, at least) to make us wait until Friday. That way, lots of people will see the game on Steam, and, as pirates are almost always impatient, they'll end up buying the game because they can't pirate it!

Or they'll keep on playing their cracked versions of the beta.

They'd cripple themselves...I really miss some features from the second beta

Of course they'll still torrent the game.
Not because a game is on steam you can't get the game illegally.

Also, why would it make any difference if more people would see the game on steam? We'd still be at the same point. Just think about it.
