Well Grim Dawn was a lot faster but it is not a fair comparison because they started selling pre-alpha keys long time before kickstart - so kickstart 'buyers' were merged into their existing system.

Anyway on the one hand these sort of things are very anxious on the other hand my experience with Larian over the year is that they are very reliable but they are a relatively small outfit and I would think with the huge influx of people via kickstart/paypal they are a bit overwhelm so I think being patient would help everyone. I have to think without kickstart/paypal they have their hands full with two games being released this year (well hopefully two). I'd be somewhat curious if they could reflect on kickstart a year down the road and their thoughts on benefits/pain.
