This gets pretty weird. Apparently, Drakensang has been fficially released, but nobody has any. As late as, well, yesterday, several stores and places were claiming they it was being shipped and would in stores _today_. Fast forward… and nobody seems to have it except maybe Amazon, and they won’t admit it. They just say something like “probably ships in 2-5 weeks, maybe, possibly”.

I had really looked forward to this. I don’t know who is responsible for this nonsense, but if I catch them, I will slowly peel the skin off of him, and make him eat it. (But I won’t kill him, because that’s against boatd rules. I will just make him wish he were dead as his mangled carcass lies in nightmarish pain in the hospital.)

According to [this IGN article](http://pc.ign.com/articles/947/947876p1.html), published 01/23/09, Drakensang is supposed to be released February 24. It’s too bad my computer is garbage; this looks like it will be a great game.

Apparently they didn’t bother to actually tell the suppliers.
