Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Alpha for backers still on track Summer 2013?

I really don't like the idea of it coming out in december. for the simple reason that since the steam winter sale will be going on and that might (and probably will) affect the sales greatly... if the game is released during the sales I doubt that many people will buy a 40 euro game instead of 5 games for that price at 80% off or something.
