Yep, that\u2019s right. Here it is:<\/span><\/p>\n

4th June 2015<\/span><\/h2>\n

Just to be super clear: That is the date that anybody who has access to a PC and an internet connection will be able to go to the official Big Pharma website<\/a> and buy a copy of the game.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re calling this a \u201cpreorder beta\u201d. What that means is you are essentially preordering the full version of the game (since that\u2019s what you\u2019ll be getting eventually) but you\u2019ll get instant access to the beta.<\/p>\n

\"Big<\/a><\/p>\n

To mark the announcement, we\u2019ve switched to a fancy new website which I hope you\u2019ll agree makes the old one look a bit shabby in comparison (can you believe I have actually been paid to do web design in the past?). It\u2019s also where you can find all the key facts, minimum hardware requirements and a little information about what to expect from the beta and beyond!<\/p>\n

So head over there now! – www.bigpharmagame.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Extra little sub announcement. I\u2019m planning to do my first ever Twitch stream on the day of beta release. Assuming I\u2019m not inundated with bugs\/complaints, I\u2019ll try to keep the stream going all day. That way anybody who is on the fence can see the game in action and decide whether it\u2019s right for them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll finish by saying thank you to everybody for being so patient (well some of you weren\u2019t that patient but I like your enthusiasm \u2013 I\u2019m look at you \u201cI\u2019m throwing my money at the screen\u201d guy). I know I\u2019ve pushed back the dates a couple of times but now you have one you can put in your calendar and wistfully count away the days to.<\/p>\n

Soon pharmageddon will be upon us\u2026<\/p>\n
