I guess you can't trust anyone these days. Some people just want to abuse there position of working in a games store and think it's cool to snatch games early because they can. Especially non cooperate shops.
To be fair, I don't think everyone involved is evil or being malicious. The store we purchased from called their distributor asking for permission to sell it early before they sold any. I don't think the 'street date' is concrete. I'm sure the large corporate stores will adhere to it out of common practice but I don't think anyone is in the wrong here per se.
I do hope early copy owners listen to SNK and not 'spoil' any story stuff for those concerned with that, though.
No, not everyone will break the games official release date, by purchasing or selling it early or people leaking copies to themselves. I think it's a bit sad to go online telling people you got a game early and streaming it is even more immature.
Best thing we can do is hopefully not spoil ourselves by not reading spoiler info.
Yes there are official dates and the people that break them are wrong to do so, but there's always someone doing this, so it's nothing new really.
To the ones who go by the book and release it when it's supposed to. Good on you peeps.
