Just to confirm for all, if you backed Phoenix Point before March 12th, 2019, and received an Epic Game Store key, you will receive a Steam key for the Year One Edition on December 10th.

Was a long wait, no doubt.
Hope the game grows well in this long long early access.

Same here. All good will gone, to be honest.

I played a little bit too, but was thinking it's better to skip the Epic-Beta and wait for the polished game.

But I never understand the big problem here. I was a backer and get the Epic key, the Steam key the DLCs too and the option to get my money back when I want, but this was a good deal for me.

I understand why they do this with Epic and I'm fine with that.

Kickstarter here as well, sold my Epic key and had little problem waiting another year until all DLC and patches were coming to Steam.
As far as I see it, the game's been in Early Access and now faces a proper release with *all* content and patches.

Same here, felt vindicated when the first reviews indicated it was a bit of a mess.
Hopefully the steam release will be a bit more polished.

You understood why they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over their userbase? their reputation is now damaged massively it's not even what they did, it's how they did it.
They used us backers to get a loan they jumped ship when offered a large bribe by Epic and probably didn't even think twice.
this game wouldn't even likely have been made if it wasn't for the GOG and steam backers.

I just want confirmation I'll get my Steam key with all DLC at this point, as I definitely do not trust Snapshot to actually deliver what they promise. Obviously.

So the backer also gets steam keys? thats good, dont like epic.

Kickstarter backers were promised a release on Steam and then Snapshot made a deal with Epic for a big amount of money which enabled them to expand the game a little and polish it some more.
The downside of that deal was, that they'd be an Epic Exclusive for 1 year and Steam keys would be delayed until that year has passed.
To pacify the angry mob of Kickstarter/Fig backers, they promised us all the full game and DLC for as well Epic as Steam.
So technically, we've received the game twice *with* all DLC for the low price of $ 25,- (unless you've backed at a higher tier, obviously)

This wasn't a pre-order. I was backing the game, because I played the old X-Com and I belived in them that they can made a good game and it is a good game at the end.

Again: Everyone had the chance to get the money back on this point and everyone get a steam key now, so what's the problem?

well thats the least they could have done after we all expected steam. if i only had received an epic key i would have taken my money back. waiting for a while is less of a problem than using epic.

So those of us who purchased this game as a backer will eventually get it on steam for free but not for a year!?
