Countdown to "where's my code I want it now waaaa"

Nothing can shade the joyous rays that will shine tomorrow! :D

That being said, you just know there will be an influx of posts on the BFG forum and facebook from people who haven't been paying attention until now looking for their free download codes.

Where's my key? I haven't got it yet!
I don't want GOG.com I want Steam! (and vice versa)
Is this DRM free?! You said it would be DRM free!
The game won't run on my ______ because ______! Fix it!
....etc.


I expect some of them to be mean and I hope BFG is prepared for dealing with their inevitable crap.

So let's all take a moment to have a laugh about it :mrgreen:
I am a new Tex Murphy fan, late to the game, and a little disappointed in your tone. It's not cool to laugh at anyone. Don't you want to be more inclusive by being compassionate? It would better help to enlarge the Tex Murphy fan base, something that NEEDS to happen so we can get the trilogy that Tesla Effect is the first part of.

Be nice to us new fans, please ;)

Yes, some people will be impatient and frustrated, you would be too if you were in their shoes. If you don't believe me, ask the people, even the ones who weren't late to the game, how they felt when they had driver issues after downloading the demo. Looking at some of the threads, people were very patient and offered assistance and it strengthened the community. No one treated it like "inevitable crap", but rather a chance to find solutions that everyone could benefit from.

Some people will be mean, but to respond in kind is a lose-lose proposition. Just something to think about...

P.S. ARGH!!! Where's my code???!!! :D
All it would take would be someone taking 5 minutes of their time to send a kickstarter message to all backers with a friendly reminder that "We will send game codes shortly, please be patient". I'm not holding my breath for that to happen though. I'm sure they'll have a hectic time as it is, dealing with real customers. Kickstarter backers aren't going anywhere and they're a patient breed. If you back a lot of kickstarter projects you get used to it. Anyway, I'm not going to preach here about waiting - I'm sure we're all experts on that subject here (am I allowed to joke about that?). I'm grateful for the genius of releasing on a Wednesday - this leaves 3 days for things to settle down before most of us have time to play anyway and fingers crossed by then everyone will receive an email.
I was being a dick. Sorry about that. :P I'm just bracing for the potential troubles that will come up when the game is released. I guess it's the same for any game, really.

Thanks for actually creating accounts specifically to tell me I'm wrong! :shock: I didn't know you cared. Welcome! :)

Everyone else around here is way nicer than I am, really. :mrgreen:
I've been doing software support/q&a/system administration, etc. for years so I know EXACTLY what you are talking about :D

It comes with the territory. Best to keep a positive perspective about it so you feel good about helping them, they feel good that the people in the forum are so friendly to help/respond, and everybody wins. Of course there are always going to be a few nasty folks, but you can't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch.
I actually have no time to play this weekend with family obligations, but tomorrow night is wide open. I want my code! ;)
If I don't have my code by tomorrow morning I could be mad, but I'll probably just buy it and give the extra copy as a gift.
chris jones stated we will get them soon

If I played the BETA so I have to download via GOG or do I get the option to play via STEAM? I'd much rather redeem a STEAM code.
Everyone in the chat at the Twitch event was talking about "noon tomorrow" for the codes. I can't figure out where this info came from. Is it true?
It's good to be back after 16 years. I haven't seen a code yet, but I'll save my freakouts until tomorrow at 1:01 PM ET. Maybe 1:02 PM ET.

By 1:05 PM ET I'll have bought a new copy on Steam...
wowowowow where's it? I can't wait no more! :cry:
According to user "BMacklin", he/she received their key via email:

I haven't received mine yet.
I don't think this post was correct, probably just some smart ass being funny
