EA sends along another update on the BF2142 demo, further complicating what is normally a more straightforward process. Following on word earlier today that the game would have periods of exclusivity to both EA Downloader and GameSpot comes the additional wrinkle that the game will appear on IGN on Friday evening, though the new schedule does not specify whether or not Friday evening marks the point at which other mirrors could carry the file. Here's the new release schedule:

Thursday, October 5th 12AM PST - EA Downloader
Friday, October 6th 9AM PST - GameSpot.com
Friday, October 6th 6PM PST - IGN.com

The point of a demo is to get people interested in the game. Not buy the game so they get the demo.

you have summarized in two sentences exactly whats fucked up about this.

This is the work of useless PR suits who have absolutely no interest in gaming as a hobby.
