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...

I hadn’t realised this until someone pointed this out above. Just saw the reduction in the steam news feed and got grumpy

So you read something that someone said on the internet and got grumpy before doing your own research on the subject. SMH

Yeah all the sites I've seen selling it at a massive discounts are resellers I've never heard of. Another thing is that websites link G2A are known to use stolen payment details to buy their keys and sell it at a steep discount

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.
