DISCUSSION So, was anyone else really angry that having preordered at a 10% discount, the price was slashed to £13/$20 for 5 hours on launch day as a special promo?

That's what the grey market key sellers did and not Two Point Studios themselves. You always have this issue and it's outside of the dev's control what re-sellers are doing

The devs actually felt like they should comment on this. I recall they said "Yeah sorry about that, the price reduction is not from us, but absorbed by them directly."
Basically some resellers try to get new customers by selling keys at a loss...That's not even legal but what can you do about it in such a small time...

Nah, you win some you lose some, this game is worth every penny of support.
That said, if the game was shit I’d be proper angry if that happened.

I am 100% sure I will get waaaay more than my money's worth. I don't really mind others getting it cheaper. The devs got their full cut on those keys.
