I don't care what people say about the pricing surprise. If this is going to surprise you without any announcements, then you're surely going to have a bad time in places that has these kinds of things happening all the time.
Having a dev not announce something is not always the end of a world. It's a different story if they were not announcing anything because they really did not care about the public. But if it's them being in a bit of a bind or in a pinch, then it's understandable and it's called being human and if you can't understand this reasoning then you're lost in a different system.
Also can't believe the melt down over a single announcement that is important sure, but if you've already been following their other games or should be because these games are pretty good, then why is this specific game surprising you?
Only thing I'm surprised about is it not being priced sooner.
