changedUnfortunately we had some issues on our launch day that were out of our control. In short, the store was not functioning as it should have because of a platform wide outage , and our game did not officially move into release state until 5 days after launch. This affected our launch day visibility on the store and the notifications that let people know the game left Early Access.
addedWe needed all of this to land on Day 1, and having this stuff sporadically turn on the week following launch was of little help, and in some ways damaging. For example last week all our new positive reviews were suddenly lumped back in with the old early access reviews, returning us to just a 'Mixed' score.

We know the number of players is a big issue, and with the help of Valve we're trying to do a free weekend with a significant update this month.

Thanks for all the bug reports and feedback. In the past week we've put out 3 patches, you can see the changelog in the main menu under PATCH NOTES. We were hoping to announce our full roadmap last weekend but the launch issues have required us to focus elsewhere and now we need to reassess what will be delivered and when.

We're no stranger to fighting uphill battles here, and we can't tell you enough how much we appreciate the ongoing support.
