    I have been looking around the interwebs for an answer to this and have yet been able to find one so I thought I would ask here and see if anyone knew. What's going on with the pre-load for this game on Steam not working? As soon as I bought it a while back it downloaded a tiny file and every time I go to install it it says that it's not available yet. Was curious to know if anyone has heard anything official yet, because all I was able to dig up was that other digital services will let you pre-load by now but on Steam you can't. This just EA being douches and trying to screw over the Steam release of their game, or is this some bug the devs are trying to work out?

    Pretty sure that tiny file will be pre-order DLC unlock key.

    The game's forums imply that EA isn't involved in the steam version, so it seems to lie with the developer.

    Oh well. As long as I can start downloading it before I head off to work tomorrow I should be good to have it done by the time I get home. Unless it's some ungodly large download.

    Double checked on Steam and it looks like it's only going to be 10.5. So I should be good as long as I can start it in the morning.

    Skyrim, with all my mods, is only 6G. Sloppy coding on 38's part? Or magic on Bethesda's!!
