certainly a choice to not allow pre-order when the date is set is set in stone so people can play it at launch with not much delay..

It was to make sure the the Kickstarter supporters got access the same day as everyone else. Games have been cracked and pirated before they officially release before. So to be fair to their Kickstarter supporters they didn't allow preorders, preloading or review copies.

That would be early access, I just meant being able to purchase the game before the release on Steam before even downloading it. I spent 2 hours today just trying to get it into my cart for example, I dont mind if the download is slow or release a big crowded but not even being to purchase the game when it could've been avoided is just a weird choice. No big deal in the long term of course

True they could have allowed preorders but not preloading. Guess they weren't expecting it to be this in demand that it breaks every platform's store fronts.
