The fact that Binding of Isaac made it so long without promo copies being leaked gives me a glimmer of hope that Nicalis may just be really good about keeping it under wraps. Still makes no sense to me why they wouldn’t be transparent about it though, since it inevitably will lead to some horrible publicity. Which leads me to believe on the flip side that they just royally fucked up, and are just trying their best to sweep the whole thing under the rug. Regardless, the issue will never be forgotten, seeing as how their promo copies have become the grails for the system.
On the one hand it would be great if they were that good keeping everything hush hush, if this true, I'm more worried about the shitshow it will be to even purchase a copy. Most retailers underestimate how well their site/webhosting holds up under immense traffic.
For something like this, there would be so much angry, salty tears
