What is actually the reason behind this 3 day releasedate difference?!

That might be, but seems unlikely that it is the reason behind it, because they can easy be on the same day, so there must be a proper reason behind it...

So you are telling me that the ONLY reason they are doing this is to be annoying towards us, and NO OTHER REASON AT ALL?!
And it's not been like this with every game FYI, enough have world wide releases these days.

I don't find any other reason. In the prehistoric ages of gaming the games had to be shipped and it took some time. But now, in digital era...

As far as I can remember, it's due to retail launch dates. It's been a LONG time since I helped run a game store, but UK launch date for new games was usually on a Friday and I believe US launch was usually on Tuesday? Digital launches generally stick to the same as retail so as to not undercut bricks'n'mortar stores.

Great. I'm not gonna risk trying a 3rd party site and not receive the key before Friday. Unless you know of any sites that send them out instantly for a cheaper price than Steam?

It seems that you're right but it's more of tradition due to the game shipping than anything else. I don't think that publishers are really waiting for physical copy like it was back in the days.

Isn't the release day related to sales numbers?
I think they are based on weekly sales numbers, the USA start their 'week' on the Tuesday and the UK on the 'Friday'. So to maximise the week 1 sales numbers, they have to release on those days. If they released the game in the UK today, sales numbers would be split between this week and the next week.

Btw is there a chance to get my steam account banned for using a vpn? It seems the new EULA from steam is explicitly stating that it is a reason for account banning.

I don't receive it until the 21st 
Remind me never to do business on Plati again... they have some bizarro automated system and a landing page that has your key "reserved" that launches on a specific day.
