Yep, I'm in the launcher right now DLing.  According to steam it was going to release like 6 hours from now I think, but they decided to release it early I guess ^^.  Gotta love steam.

Ya Steam is LE and it is released and the Cities XL servers are online. Downloading the update. We also got a free trial period to Planet Offer. NICE!

Monthly subscription fee required to play — a valid credit card is required. Internet connection required — player is responsible for all applicable internet fees.

Anyone think this is a kinda unfair to MC?  Its basically the first thing u see when u look at the store page and its basically a lie.  A monthly subscription is not required, and it may turn away customers that would have just played single player.

Edit: Seems they just changed it to:

Optional online play - "Planet Offer" - requires a monthly subscription fee — a valid credit card is likely required for payment. Internet connection required — player is responsible for all applicable internet fees.

Much better imo.
