[Tsar99]

Just noticed it, so I got to share.
Unfortunately I cannot post links, so search it on Steam and someone else can post the link...

I'm overwhelmed. I like that they really kept all the major aspects that made DW:U strong.

Makes me look forward to this evening even more.

Can we still purchase directly from matrix or is purchase thru steam advised?

[Erik Rutins]

Since you asked, we'd actually prefer if you purchase through us - you'll still get a free Steam key for any purchase on the Matrix or Slitherine store, but more of the game price will go directly to us (and Elliot) rather than to a third party.

Erik that is exactly why I asked. One last question. I will be purchasing thru Matrix but will distribution be handled by both or can i get the game still via my games section in Matrix or is down load thru Steam required?

By both - it's totally up to you. You'll have a fully registered copy here so you can re-download from us and you'll also have a Steam key so you can add it to your Steam library and download it there.

I appreciate how Matrix gives you a Steam key after purchase.

I'll buy via Matrix as it's good for you. Then get my Steam key as it's ideal for me.

Then there is nothing to think about, buying from Matrix it is.

[SirHoraceHarkness]

Buy from matrix but make steam pay for the download. [:'(]

[balto]

As long as it is not over $500, I will insta-buy. If it goes for more than $500, I need to some full playthroughs on Youtube prior to purchase.

PS - I know, there are no games that expensive. But this (as well as all of Vic's games) should be $500+ for what you get.

[SirHoraceHarkness]

Probably will be in the $40~60 range like all new games nowadays.

The only downside to buying off Matrix is that steam reviews from cd keys dont count to their totals which is a bummer

In any case people should at least wishlist the game on Steam in order for the "Steam Algorithm" to notice it and do whatever weird magic the Algorithm does

Do I still get a disk when I buy through Matrix? Always loved having a physical copy of the game and each expansion with my name printed on them [;)]

Yes, that's the plus side of ordering on Steam, at least if you give us a good review. [:D]

Yes, there will be an option for a physical copy.

For a split second I saw this thread as the most recent on the forum and thought to myself Distant Worlds 2 finally launched. Unfortunately, common sense very quickly washed over me—grounding me back down to the painful reality of waiting for DW2. Even so, this sudden, overwhelming rush of euphoria I experienced affords me great strength in these dark times. My dopamine is now replenished enough to hopefully weather the months ahead without my beloved sequel.

I hope there will be some more news shortly. One day of info a few months ago, then total silence.

^^ because they are beta testing it, it's quiet because there's nothing new really to say, just gotta squash all the bugs and polish up a stable 1.0 foundation for the next DECADE of content releases lol (hopefully)
