为了能第一时间玩到，我直接买了steam版的，其它便宜的deal，我都没考虑，现在可好，暴雪把午夜发售权只卖给了零售商，像walmart,gametop，等等。steam没有买，所以我们steam版的只能等到美国东部时间10am才能玩上。零售版的午夜以后就可以玩了。steam官方好像都没给说明一下。以后从steam入手正版要三思了。下面是steam论坛里的帖子，

Mods: If this could get sticked it could really help people.

There's been a lot of confusion, nerd-rage, yelling, and testosterone in the past few hours, and a lot of people have questions. Here is what's happening from someone who knows the gaming industry and how game releases go.

Steam does not have a midnight release because Activision "sold" the midnight release rights to Gamestop, Walmart and other box-mortar stores.

Steam did not get the bid to have an excluding midnight release, which means they have to delay their release to sometime after those midnight exclusive time.

Retail PC copies have a midnight release time because they were purchased from said box-mortar stores and not from Steam.

The reason why the date was changed so late in the game was the rights deal between Valve and Activision falling through, or from protest from those that did pay extra for the exclusive release.

Steam did not falsely advertise/lie/trick the community and buyers

There is a reason why they have the word "approximately" in the time, as it is subject to change and is not exact. Valve/Steam did not promise a midnight release.

Steam split apart release dates based on timezone to protect the content servers from high bandwidth/usage and to prevent server crash

By splitting up the releases, it alleviates some stress from the content servers to help make the release run as smoothly as possible. MW2 had this problem with it being unlocked for everyone at the same time and the content servers crashing.

tl;dr: Valve did nothing wrong.

I hope to clear some misconceptions and wonder if I can get this stickied.
