Hey folks, we’re getting a lot of emails asking us what’s going on with Steam and the short answer is, we’re not sure, but we believe the game should be available for purchase Any Minute Now™. Please bear with us!
No! If I don’t buy it when it’s first released Steam may run out of stock! Though watching the countdown go from 1 hour to 3 hours is like waiting for the end of the last lecture of the day…
We’re trying to get to the bottom of it. The countdown banner seems to appear and disappear if you reload the product page. We’re not sure it actually means what it says…
We’re working on a demo but it’s not ready yet, unfortunately. A demo has to be treated like a separate product, built and tested with the same level of scrutiny as a retail product, and we’re only 6 people, so it just wasn’t possible to have both done in time for release. We’re working as fast as we can and we apologize for the delay.

Still nothing in the Czech Republic. Not even a countdown.

Do you have a demo to try while I wait for the release?

Hi Thomas,
We’re working on a demo but it’s not ready yet, unfortunately. A demo has to be treated like a separate product, built and tested with the same level of scrutiny as a retail product, and we’re only 6 people, so it just wasn’t possible to have both done in time for release. We’re working as fast as we can and we apologize for the delay.

Bizarre. I noticed it didn’t have a preorder button last week either, so I figured it was a glitch. And now I guess it’s confirmed to be a glitch.
Looking forward to grabbing this and trying it out. I’ve missed having a reason to pull out the ol’ Logitech joystick!

Well, it now says it unlocks in 3 hours. But still no way to actually buy it. Baby steps?
