So, can somebody summarize what this thread is about?
Assuming you're serious, let's see..
Someone was upset that there was no upgrade path for the Collectors Edition for those that already owned the game through Steam Early Access. This sort of complaint is new and may possibly pop up more often in the future because, let's face it, it really wasn't so long ago that we weren't able to buy and play games before they actually launched. Now that's changed, and with those changes come uncharted territory and new hitches to sort out.
I suggested that I too wished the sale of the game had been handled better (more upgrade paths, earlier details regarding the CE, etc).
The developers hopped into the discussion long enough to let us know a Digital CE would be available for Steam Users to upgrade to.
Several people got really upset that this thread even existed. This resulted in opinions being repeated several dozen times for clarity, although clarity seems to be hopeless at this point.
That about sums it up, I think.
