You don't have the game.

That's the Early Access release date. Also the release date of the full version actually got moved up by almost a full month.

So it did get delayed.
In reverse. :P

That's the early access release date, man. Official release date was announced a while ago. It's clear you don't pay attention often.

So you are telling us that the release date is in the past and you are not smart enough to understand that there is some kind of weirdness here as the game as not been released yet and so on you didn't take the time to either:
1) Find on the store page that the Oct 6, 2020 is the early access date
And
2) Find on the store page that the release is Aug 3, 2023

Also you don't own the game per steam so... Asking to be paid for a game that you doesn't own is a bit stupid.

You haven't even purchased the game, as Larian advised folks not to if they weren't okay with paying full price up front. What are you even worried about?

[Cosgar]

Larian isn't a triple A studio

Okay.

18 days.

[Kyutaru]

You should have seen how long Rust was in early access for.

Also, Star Citizen is still there.

[Stormwind]

So much whining surrounding this game regarding entirely voluntary stuff.

So don't buy early access (you didn't).

I did, I didn't even play much. Happy to support a great gaming company. DoS2 was the best game of its kind I ever played,

Saving money on beta testers by getting it for free from players means more money spent on programming new stuff, and this game has a lot.

Larian studio is not a AAA developer. If anything they are more like AA. Also how is getting the game out early and getting a feedback directly from your player base bad? The more feedback or recommendation people give, the longer it probably would take to make it to a full version. I know that I don't want to ruin my experience by playing early access version, so I'm waiting for a full release. I did really enjoy Divinity 2, so I'm very excited to get to play the full version. Why ♥♥♥♥♥ about it if you aren't even a part of the early access player base?

[Cutlass Jack]

Quite a bit of faux outrage from someone who didn't pay anything.
Just wait a few weeks. Will be out in august.
