It's been mentioned that it is a 'full exclusive'. I don't think it's timed.

I will respect the Mods wishes, but they are wrong in this case
I knew your original "whas goings on" post was disingenuous" Glad you got got
Well I found this link on the Kickstarter that resends you the fangamer email to select your product, the question is, is it now too late for me to change from the physical steam disc to the ps4 disc? God, I am so angry at this needless situation, it's completely soured me on getting a sequel I have waited over half my life for.
This. Unfortunately. It's a damn shame. Deep Silver fucking around.
It isn't a store, but they are absolutely entitled to the reward they paid for.
From the ToS:
Please don't engage the users that are blatantly trolling. Report and move on, the mods are responding really fast.
the best long term effects of it would be that it fails miserably and then we never have to deal with pc storefront exclusivity ever again
I want to see Valve open the warchest up and go to war with Epic. Who can have the most exclusives? Only time and large amounts of $$$ will tell.
I'm on ps4 and don't really play on pc so it doesn't bother me either. I also don't think EGS's shortcomings would really effect my enjoyment of the game either. Having said that I am really curious as to where this money hat money has gone as I have my doubts much of has gone in to making the game better.

Gonna risk a ban, but can "STAFF" please just let people discuss. Do we really need the admins making all the arguments for people
User Banned (3 Days): Ignoring Staff Post
With what shit? Kickstarter clearly says the opposite of the Mods stance on their web page.
Doesn't hurt to try. I'd try to change it and if it you can't, ask for a refund.
It's why I ignore many of these concern posts. Constantly ignoring valid points in favour of confirming what they already believed in.
"Oh, it's just about another store? Lol, gamers be mad as usual"
Hilarious...
I'd advise everyone else to ignore them too. There is plenty of information for them to dig into if they truly wanted to know why people are upset.
why do you think they would do that
some of you people are so out of it
I disagree. Valve being peaceful is best for the PC community.
There are plenty of actual PC backers here that are not happy. How kind of you.
How can you discuss facts other than to say, yes, it's true, backers were offered a Steam physical copy or Steam digital copy?
"If you only have a 720p screen the icon is actually just a few different pixels in comparison to the steam icon"
But the game got funded and is coming out, thanks to KS. The only difference here is it's on a different launcher.
yeah okay next you'll be telling us that the earth isn't flat
Cold comfort at the moment, but I don't know of any permanent exclusives under these promo terms, so it's likely to open up after a year. That's not a satisfying answer to people who backed it, though.
Whether or not a Steam release was promised to backers, and whether or not Kickstarter backers should expect to get anything they were promised (up to and including the game itself) are two separate discussions though, so I don't see how the post you quoted is in violation of the staff post.

That's a shooting match nobody should really want tbh
Nah, I'd rather they don't respond with buying up exclusives.
Valve are, for better or worse, fairly aloof and just work on stuff they want to work on. I really doubt there are many in that office who even care about competing with EGS beyond dealing with the customer outrage.
it is in Kickstarter faq that they must fulfill rewards.
We do when people keep claiming things that definitely were true as not actually happening.
"It's just an extra click!"
What? Did you even read his post?
That this even needs to be said (to people who are consciously ignoring it and are not simply uninformed) is pathetic.
But when it does include a pre-order, you should probably expect them to honor the reward they offered when you pledged with no changes.
No, it's bad enough that epic is pulling this shit we don't need Valve adding more fuel to the fire.
The EGS is already fucking itself over at every opportunity it gets, better to just let it die out and we can go back to having a healthier PC market without this console-war level bullshit.
This is accurate, but this change isn't the result of a physical problem, or technical limitation with the hardware, or the project collapsing due to whatever reason.
The only reason people are being denied Steam keys, something they were promised in exchange for their money, is because of a contract the devs/publishers willingly signed. That's some grade A bullshit.
They aren't. There are loads of receipts showing the backer surveys. That's part and parcel with this transaction and a necessary predicate to fulfilling the reward.
