I still have not quite figured out how I am going to obtain Sentinal’s Fate on launch day yet. Kiara mentioned over at the community forums that the marketing team has been working on allowing international customers to purchase Sentinal’s Fate digitally on launch day. The idea of delaying digital orders until a week after launch is a poor marketing decision, and flies against all logic. While most companies are looking to champion digital distribution as a means for rapidly distributing their products without the messy and cumbersome logistical lines, implementing an artificial delay seems to foolish.
I think SOE did realize that, and made some noble efforts to amend that decision. However, at the time of this writing, none of the pre-order sites catered for international customers seem to be accepting orders from Singapore. DLGamer seemed to offer it, until I attempted to pay for it, and there wasn’t a single payment option listed for my country.
Sentinal’s Fate is still not listed on Steam yet. Hopefully it accepts my order there, otherwise it looks like I’m getting screwed. Sigh.
