God I am so bummed out! I found out about this recently and was dealing with some financial issues so I finally was able to buy it last Thursday (the 19th)... yeah... I saw the announcement when I tried to purchase... .
So what do those of us who just missed the boat by such a small margin do now? Somehow it makes it worse knowing less than a week was all it took to completely miss this segment before the mass horde of Steam users pollute the (relatively) clean waters.
I know there isn't a good answer probably, I just am so sad I couldn't have purchased it when I first found out!
