I'm a kickstarter backer, eagerly awaiting my Steam key :)

They haven't given you one yet, an hour before release?! :o

They haven't even given out yet AFTER release.

They've just now sent the backer-survey to ask us if we want a Steam key (which might take a while to get) or get the game "later today" (more like tomorrow) via the Humble Bundle Store.

Tpek...when are you going to learn. You have absolutely no luck with these things.

Probably never.
By now I've fully learned Kickstarter 101. Backers ALWAYS get shafted.
I've rarely backed a KS in which the product wasn't sold in stores before even being sent to the backers.

Watched the Steam trailer and found it quite intriguing...curious as what is posted here about the game. I can't afford to be a gaming trail blazer, I rely on the younger, more affluent grogheads to lead the way. Regarding Kickstarter; I've never done it and have no inclination to do so....I keep reading posts here and elsewhere like Tpek wrote about and from others expressing anger, disappointment and a sense of being cheated...I just don't get it.

I got my Steam key and starting to download.

Why does the massive futuristic aircraft look like a 727?

Because they are headed for Dublin, rather than some space colony? And it is set only 28 years in the future?

Who are the bad guys? A Libyan terrorist with supposed health issues?

According to the Steam forums, it sounds like the bad guys are the soul-crushing bugs endemic in the game.
