Hey Stonkers,
We have an important update to share regarding our Early Access launch, which was originally planned for today.
Unfortunately, the game will not be going live as expected due to delays in the Steam review and approval process. While we submitted everything on July 11, well ahead of the recommended 3–5 business days, Steam has informed us that their review is taking longer than usual.
This situation is completely out of our hands, and we’re just as eager as you are to get the game into your hands. We’ve done everything on our end, and now we’re simply waiting for Steam’s final approval to move forward.
At this point, we won’t be announcing a new release date until the game has successfully passed the approval process. We’ll update you the moment we have confirmation.
Believe us, no one was as eager and anxious to get the game out into Early Access as us. Since we announced our date of July 30, it's been an anxious couple of weeks. Will the Stonkers enjoy the Early Access version? Will they play? Will they give their usual constructive feedback? Will they share it with their friends? Will they stream it? Will we meet their expectations?
It has been a burden we couldn't wait to offload today, and now here we are fated to carry it for longer. It could be a few days; it could be a couple of weeks. But carry its anxiety we must.
We promise we are going to keep working on the game as you have been used to seeing us do since the first demo, and in fact with even more enthusiasm and drive.
For those of you who holding Steam keys to be redeemed before July 30, received as giveaways in previous events, organized by our wonderful guild of experts members and streamers, or for winning it in the truck drop event in previous demo versions, do NOT worry, we got you covered: You can still redeem your key even after July 30, as long as you do so before the yet to be announced new date.
We’re incredibly grateful for your patience and support, and we can’t wait to welcome you into the Early Access version as soon as we’re given the green light.
Thank you for sticking with us. We’ll keep you posted.
Cordially,
Your GameStonk Simulator: Gone Rogue team
