Why did the launch time on PC Change?
For the week leading up to the game, including official communication from EA_Pulsar, and the official Pitch Notes, EAFC 26 on PC was supposed to come out at 1PM BST on the 18th of September.
Now, it has changed to Midnight BST on the 19th of September. Is this change real, and if so, why change it AFTER the official announcement. I, like many other users, took Thursday off to be able to enjoy the first day of PAID FOR early access.
Why change this so soon before release (less than 48 hours)? Was this intentional?
