[QUOTE="Worf, post: 54530, member: 1047"] To handle it requires some serious discussions with Microsoft to do it in order to move all the licenses around or to issue codes and what not. As for the kickstarters, well, FS is a tiny company, so they have to wait for Sony/Microsoft to issue the codes. Day 1 DLC is usually done way ahead of time so codes can be printed with the discs (the game is finished long before the release date - it takes a few months to stamp the discs, package them, ship them to the retailers and have them ship to the stores in time for release - during which they can get DLC and exclusives done, get the codes issued and printed and shipped off to the stores in time - printing up a stack of codes is actually really quick, especially since the cards are preprinted ahead of time and it's just stamping the codes on them) Farsight, however, doesn't have the luxury of a printed release, so unless they hold back the release so they can have codes ready, you get what happened to PS3. (Yes, you can hold back a game - just because it's approved doesn't mean you have to post it immediately. You can put it for release on a specific day in the future... it's how those downloadable games can have release dates). [/QUOTE]
