It does look like the name was going through, though as far as I'm aware nothing else. Goes both ways, I believe. I've got no idea how or if that can be squelched. For what it's worth, I can delete any information in regards to that I end up with.

If anyone's still got space for me in a 4-pack, I'm interested.

I caved in and bought it. Especially the tought that I'll be able to play a beta soon-ish makes me happy.

I sent the money to Frump for the 4-pack. Hopefully as soon as it goes through we can all get our codes :P

I'll likely only get it once it hits Steam. Even not taking the fact that I'll likely pay less that way into account, Steam is the only thing I can actually buy things through at the moment.

How would you pay less that way? $11.25 if you split up a 4 pack, and Tiy said it would be more once it was released.

Probably waiting for a sale. After a year or two it will probably drop to $10 or so.

Russian. Some things are just plain cheatingly cheaper in Rubles on Steam. For example, Far Cry 3 is $50. If I were to buy it directly for USD, it'd translate to... well, about 1550 RUR. On Steam, I can buy it for 799 RUR. It's not the same for all things, some retain their prices, but it works for quite a lot of titles. KSP for $23, or 715 RUR? Listed for 450. Just recently bought Stardrive for 430.

So, I think it can still work out in the end. Not to mention all the conversion fees I'll save on. ^_^

I actually think this game will be fairly quick to discount. With all of the hype and media(a huge blitz is planned for the 4 weeks preceding launch) I believe they will reach 70% audience saturation within 60 days. That remaining 20%+/- will need to be lured in with sales. 3-10% are likely to not buy and/or pirate. These ratios are currently floating around the industry and I applied them to this situation but obviously the industry is volatile and I can't make certain predictions.

I would speculate you will see a $9.99usd sale by Christmas if release is Sept-Oct. But who really knows? I love the Chucklefish crew but business development is clearly not their strong point.

No because there is a chance you might not like it, tell others, and thus they might not buy it.
They could give you a demo now, but what point would it serve?

That is... much more pessimistic then an interpretation I would give.

Though that is why I am not buying it until I see gameplay. The biggest issue with Terraria, the only one, was just how the character moved.

Listening to the soundtrack you get for pre-ordering.

First impressions:
I'd pay money for the soundtrack alone. It's pretty damn amazing, makes perfect background noise, and many of the songs are well over 7 minutes. Hell, the first track is 20 minutes long. 529 MB of music is a lot.

What, the jumping up one tile slopes? I remember seeing that fixed.

No just moving in general in Terraria.
