totally on board with that, i'd just like a 'we don't know yet' from them to clear up all the speculation either way. apologies if he's already said that though
It depends on what comes up during gamma.

Argh! You're not a beta backer? Where did you get the client from? On the ED Store my download button isn't active yet!
Just logged in and got the kickstarter choices.
Still no server on tho.
Still no server on tho.
So common error then!
I still doubt it.
I still think that maybe my Kickstarter pledge didn't get registered. Or maybe I've misread the "backers with the full game get gamma access" has some asterisk I haven't spotted which will keep me out. Or my computer is too slow (it may well be).
SOMETHING that will puncture my quite frankly unbearable excitement.
Thank you, much needed statement.
