Dang, I pre-ordered....

Post by Gilmer »

and it had a download button so I thought, maybe if you pre-order you get to play the Beta version. But no, I just got a message saying the download button will work on 3/10.

Oh well, I guess I'll play DWU until then.

Most of us were expecting having an early access to the manual or something, but looks like we won't have any goodies for pre-ordering :/

Yes, I got the 10% off. I know, I know, I should be happy enough with that.

I'm not really complaining, just slightly disappointed.

A manual or just a copy of the Galactopedia would be nice though, even if it's just a draft, given the complexity of the game.

Also pre-ordered Distant Worlds 2. Considering the time I spent on the first game, it was an automatic buy from me. About seven years since I last posted here.

Possible pre-order bonus idea: letting those who've pre-ordered get access to a PDF of the manual.

Yep, I did. It was my way of keeping it top of mind in the hopes we might get access as a Monday surprise. :D
