Quill's post-multiplayer comments (22 players!  :o ) has some interesting summaries about parts of the gameplay:

I'm still miffed over a Monday release. Why the hell not Friday!?!?! 

Indeed!

I sense a bit of a ...cough cough...flu coming on Tuesday. Might just hold into Wednesday...

I was reading somewhere that slave revolts were being held back from the release.....was that a key feature?  Any big deal because of that?  I doubt it, but was just curious.

That'll dash the hopes of any aspiring space Spartacus! Perhaps they're going to hold slave revolts back and role them in later in a more elaborated form as part of a DLC.

I've not seen Paradox save major release features for future DLC release.  I doubt they're pulling an infamous Sega/EA thing like that.  Probably just bugged or not yet working as well as expected.  I'm guessing it'll show back up as an update to the base game.

Well, I created an account with Green Man Gaming the other day, and they sent me a 25% off coupon, so of course I used it for Stellaris Galaxy edition.

BTW for anyone else who pre-ordered from cdkeys.com, here was the latest info from their support on when the keys will be released:
"The codes will now be sent out at around 12pm GMT 9th May in time for the release later in the day which is now at 6pm GMT."

So, if I have the times right, it'll be 8am Eastern in the US for the keys and 2pm for the game release.

Lets slam that refresh button!
