I'd just love to be able to play my copy. Maybe next year it becomes available to people who don't use Steam. What's a couple of years between friends, right? AKA The Story of How I Never Preordered Another Indie Game Again.

Quoting: NadirI'd just love to be able to play my copy. Maybe next year it becomes available to people who don't use Steam. What's a couple of years between friends, right? AKA The Story of How I Never Preordered Another Indie Game Again.

I could be mislead, but isn't it available DRM free on Humble Store?

edit: I just saw the notice about those builds being available later. Sorry, friend.
