Any particular reason why you'll be releasing the game on a Wednesday?
I would've thought that weekends were for game releases.

It's because I have vacation that week.

Developers, us included, have started spreading out more to all the days of the week to reduce overlapping release days. During this week for example there were over 50 (!!!) new releases on Steam so if all of those would've launched on the same day, they would have had to fight much harder over media, store frontpage and, perhaps most importantly, social media visibility. :)

Even with that, it's still pretty crowded. The amount of new game releases is pretty insane. :)

Dear Petri and Team, let me put it like this: I wanted to open a "Woohoo let's rave with joy like a lunatic" topic - I decided otherwise.
The trailer is frantastic. My only concern is, that maybe I won't be able to run the game on my current laptop :| Maybe it will get broke and I'll have to buy an other one though. .... Where is that hammer?

Grimrock 2 is the first game i have ever felt inclined to pre-order...i've been gaming since 1978 so that's my finest compliment to AH!

Steam keys (You mean Wayside Creation's kickstarter for Grimrock series, right)
This is disappointing. :(

I pre-ordered Grimrock 1 on GOG because it was going to be DRM-free. I later pre-ordered Grimrock 1 through your site when it was announced your direct version would also be DRM-free. Yes, I did pre-order G1 twice for myself to support you in being DRM-free. I was really hoping the version of Grimrock 2 through the kickstarter offer would also be the DRM-free version through Humble Store. Is there any chance that we can get that version?

Same here in both instance, but I'm pretty sure that Humble is giving a steam key ~and a DRM free installer. Though of course, the dev confrmation is what you want.

I'll be buying LoG2 for myself through GoG simply because I prefer to keep all of my games in one central location. However, I know I'll be introducing and/or gifting it to a few other people, and a direct-buy will work for most of them.
