No, no - with my advice he finally managed to install the DLC (he was completely confused because the blue button only got him asccess to the main game) he started it and asked me where to find the actual DLC content in game. However I just found some vids describing it. Thank you for the help.

In my personal case, I'm a backer but they never cared to give backers drm-free keys. So I don't have the game. I could link it on steam through their page or something; I guess they didn't wan't backers to get rid of their keys either.
So, yeah, I should have the game, but I don't. They're not precisely backer friendly.

I was also disappointed with how they managed the Kickstarter promises.
Even more so, because I am a backer and I can´t redeem the DLC here on GOG, where I wanted the game in the first place.

I gave my Steam key as a gift to my boyfriend, as I have no interest in Steam and bought the game here for full price (so, basically, I paid twice) and I am still a bit bitter about knowing that the last DLC, which is supposed to be free for backers, I would have to buy again, because they for sure will provide only Steam keys,

Actually sounds pretty neat and I like when a dev goes "out there" and introduces a new gameplay loop.

The name is sort of stupid though. I get it - building up a new settlement "From the Ashes" but it sounds a bit too dark and more "plot oriented" than something that would give a better idea of what you were doing.

Still, will probably grab it at some point. I really enjoyed the game. I never *quite* finished it (which I was bothered less by because of the supposed cliffhanger ending) but I put in A TON of time and really had a good time the whole way through.

Ah interesting, yes I've read some backers have been a bit off put down from what was precisely promised. I'm not a backer and it might sound a bit rude but they did change thing like putting games 1 and 2 together then a three part series and in my opinion made such an awesome game it dosn't matter so much that they kept exactly to their early projections but I do understand about rewarding people that 'funded' the game to being with. It's why I don't do Kickstarters because your basically pre-ordering a game that isn't even made yet and much can change during the actual making of a game.

Wow, so many people thinking that post-release added content is always cut-out content...

I see where this is going. So, a wait until GOTY/Ultimate/Legendary it is then. :)

Technically they never offered a DRM-free version in their Kickstarter, only Steam was mentioned, that's the reason why I didn't back this game in the first place. They announced they would also release the game on Gog much later.

While it happen sometime for studio to provide Gog keys once the game is released here it's not always the case.

At this point, that seems like a sensible thing to do.

You're absolute right. The hinted they would look into it, but they didn't promised it.

Do I care?

No. I'm not saying they are thieves or liars (they would be in my eyes if they had promised it). Only their disregard for backers. There are many companies, and a lot smaller ones, on kickstarter that worked it out and tried to accomodate backers and gave drm-free keys on GOG even when they had it first on itch or humble. They do had a drm-free/GOG release after all, and it was even timed with the Steam one. And yet, they couldn't care less.
I guess that's what happens with companies that try to be AAA.

Thank you for posting this! I was just about to purchase the base game with both DLCs when I thought I should scan this thread first. Now I know to hold off buying until a complete version comes out next year with all DLC.

Just my 2cts.: I (not a backer) absolutely agree with what several here said. Promised or not promised. It was possible for them to give those backers who wanted DRM-free GOG keys those keys. Without the backers they would not have anything to sell at all. So I would join the bandwagon and say "screw them" and never support them again. For me it is nearly as important WHO I am supporting as WHAT I am supporting.
