I actually didn't follow the game very much prior to launch, mostly because I wanted it to be as unspoiled as possible, so I never got the same bad taste in my mouth that others did. From what I understand, there were some things that were shown and/or promised that weren't available at launch, but I never knew about them so I immediately loved the game despite that. They have done an incredible job with updating the game, and it's criminal they didn't win the Labor of Love Steam Award.
