So, I imagine you guys know this is happening correct? You have the old Divinity games on Steam, and even have Dragon Commander up.
Sometime between June and July the Summer Sale is going to start, and the front page is going to be removed to showcase game sales. In the past, any game that's launched during the Summer Sale/slightly before the Summer Sale got reduced sales, because it wasn't in any sort of spotlight. Even those that attempted to market their game through game review sites/reddit got drowned out by the waves of deals popping up regularly.
Current guesstimates are saying the Summer Sale will be going from around June 20th to July 14th or so, directly cutting off Original Sin, and killing any potential first day sales it has. I know Larian is putting a ton in to this launch, so I figured I'd drop by this post to warn you.
I realize you have a date set right now, but it may be better to "launch" 1.0 on the 30th, but not formally leave Early Access until a week or so after the Summer Sale ends, so you can get the banner ads/get the front page treatment. That way those of us who ALREADY bought it and know about the 30th release date can play it on the 30th, while everyone who doesn't know/haven't been paying attention can just assume it really launched on July 20th or so.
