If somebody buys on Impulse now, would they get immediate access?

See topic.  As I understand it 'pre-orders' have been given early access along with us BETA but does that include people who 'pre-order' now?

Anybody have a definitive answer on this?

I have just pre-ordered. I will let you know when I am able to download it.

They have to process the pre-order first, and apparantly there is a lot of them, so if u buy now, you MIGHT get to play before release, i have no idea because i only just bought mine a few hours ago, i still cant play and have no idea on average time it takes to process.

Okay thanks guys, didn't realise there was a process stage so obviously not automated.

Let me know if you have any luck either way.

From what I understand, if you didn't buy it before they started the processing earlier tonight you won't be able to get it until release time now.

 

After all, an early release was essentially stardock's pre-order bonus. One day before release barely counts as pre-order. But you never know, they might let later preorders get it. Maybe they'll do it again tonight *shrug*
