The Forza Horizon 3 demo was supposed to release about an hour ago, but didn't. I’m not sure what’s going on here, but why, why must Microsoft tease me with early 18 gig goodness and then not release it?

Wasn’t it being released on the 12th?

It’s never made sense to me as to why games/movies get released on a Tuesday over a Friday. Monday, that's even worse.

Even the seasons are weird. Why domt they release games during summer, when people have free time? Or on a Firday so people have time to play over the weekend? These things perplex me really.

Games come out in the fall so that they can sell more copies during the holidays, just before the prices get a chance to drop.

At least that’s my theory.

They release them in the fall so parents buy their kids games for Christmas.

If this is to be trusted, so they can track the first full week of sales.

There’s a stream on my youtube front page of someone waiting for it to appear. Going to be a really interesting stream once it does appear and they have to download 18gb while streaming.

Games are released in the fall so that they are the hot thing for the holidays.

I heard the release was moved to the 12th or the 13th, either way, I’m upset
