Guess what? If you're in europe, you cannot play this game on the PC edition this weekend. The GFWL unlock process has been postponed until MONDAY. Many people in forums like gamefaqs are reporting walking into the store on this friday morning, getting the game, putting it into their PC and expecting to play the product that they paid with their hard earned money for. Well too bad! Supposedly it will not allow anyone in europe to play until monday.
UPDATE: POLAND PC EDITION IS RELEASED NOW, SCREENSHOTS ARE POSTED HERE http://img827.imageshack.us/i/314f.jpg/

I am going to assume this will somehow be carried over for PC until monday as well. Since the PC edition is not unlocked in USA until the 26 right now anyway.
Bottom line:
First this shitty blog type format is annoying me, its very hard to write out a blog because half the stuff is not responding properly.
Next would be this issue with PC, I believe as more games keep moving in this direction, trying to treat it like their product isn't an actual product, but an IP, that means developers get away with so much more freedom in screwing over people who are putting over their hard each cash for products like these. As publishers slowly try to push games towards digital distribution and start locking away more and more content "on disc" and charging 9.99$ in "dlc" for it, things like this will occur more frequently. A common reference for how shady developers and publishers are getting, check out the various reports on Mafia 2.
Apparently those who own the ps3 and 360 version report huge slowdowns, huge issues, IGN claims this issue has been solved, but people posting for 360 version says it has not and there are slowdowns all over.
