I think the thing that's really getting to me (and probably a few other people too) is the image above. Taken at face value, someone in a wheelchair, seemingly in the role of an adventurer. Well-dressed and can afford a wheelchair, with magic, seems like they could probably have gotten that healed if it were just a normal injury. Healed or otherwise resolved in whatever other manner.

Not to mention, the context certainly does matter and can make inclusions come off as preachy.

It's even more baffling when some loading screens are already dark as well.

While true, that's not exactly relevant when it's a choice between losing a lot of money and not losing a lot of money.

I don't think it's a matter of underestimating demand. Granted, I don't know anything about scalability in terms of infrastructure for this stuff, but I figure they may have just figured it not worth it to scale things up for a demand that will fix itself within hours.

If it was for the limited edition, it seems like they just put more back in though a further 2 weeks out on delivery.

I just kept going back and trying to click that button every time it failed. It eventually went through. On the shipping details screen, it's the same thing. And then the same when choosing a Payment Method. It's that final screen where you confirm everything that has only one chance to work or you'll have to go through everything again.

If it stays in your cart, perhaps you'll still be able to make the attempt later on?

It really makes their tests for the higher bit rate "1080p Premium" quality just seem like reducing the current 1080p and locking out the one we already had.

On the other hand though, it's Valve so they won't get to 3.

You'd be surprised. If someone just happens to miss the initial wave of press, then they might notice the second wave when it does announce it.

It wasn't even to release on their software platform, it was more explicitly a "non-Steam" release as games were available on PC via both Epic and Microsoft's Store.

Yes. Stopping the meteor requires a number of materials as well as powering the device to destroy the meteor. Also just to clarify, 30 days to stop the meteor is 30 real time days. The game is largely complete and honestly, I don't think you'd even really notice what's missing unless you specifically look up what's not there.
