Grimrock

Valve says that they know what the problem is with preorders and it should be fixed in the next 5 minutes.

Game is now working for me as well!

I'm playing it fine, you could be too, just go download it from your GOG/Humble link you were emailed like everyone else has done.

Look buddy, you called me a retard, that's where this derailed. You have absolutely no high ground here to snipe at me from.

Getting annoyed and swearing at people is where it derailed. It's steams fault, it's being worked on, swearing and shouting on the forums won't make it move 0.01% faster, they are no doubt working as hard and as fast as they can to get it sorted. It may just take some time. Anyways i'm off to watch TV, hopefully by the time i'm back it'll be on steam and we can both enjoy it

Guys, so what was it. 1h 25m? I wish people would chill out in such situations.

It's a set of goals, and according to the Grimrock devs, there are some very hard ones to get. I enjoy meeting the devious goals of good devs. To me. it's added value. Not everyone will agree, but that's how I feel. That's how a great many people feel.

Don't misquote me. I didn't say that.

Yeah, sorry for that. I accidentally misedited the quote. I just think this whole "I bought this game, so I have EVERY right to complain" mentality is sometimes misplaced. The devs are a small team, delivering what seems to be an ace game for basically some pocket change, so I think we need to give them a break.

The anger is better vented at valve (if you really have to), who are a multi-million dollar company and should have the experience manpower to spare to solve this matter in an instant, and yet they don't.

No hard feelings - in the end, we are all just killing time until the game arrives, aren't we?

Downloading now! Woohoo!
Now I can increase my nerd powers with the steam achievements.

if you took the time to actually READ my post before you flamed me like a jackass you'd have noticed I WAS mad at Valve and never said a word against the Grimrock devs. Seems to me you just wanted to flame someone and are now trying to look like the rational voice when you were being an asshole 5 minutes ago.
