backers getting appropriate keys? & plz issue keys before release

@Obsidian: Will backers get keys appropriate to their pledge tiers?

 

The question was asked during the course of another thread, and Adam Brennecke said that he would ask about it, but it's been over a month since and there doesn't seem to have been an official answer.

 

To be clear, matching the basic tier packages to the proper editions would be sufficient.

 

It seems reasonable that addons would have to be downloaded from the Backer Portal given the myriad possible combinations a backer might have chosen.

 

Really, at the very least, tiers $80 & up (if I read the reward summaries correctly) should get the Royal Edition so that you're not slighting your most enthusiastic supporters.

 

Also, could we please get our keys early so that we can add the game to our GOG or Steam accounts and know that we have everything set and ready for release day?

 

It's the end of February now, and I want March to be a month of building excitement that isn't darkened by these concerns every time that PoE comes to mind.  If we can't get our keys before release, then please at least give us an official assurance that we will receive the proper edition on release day.

They plan on letting us preload on Steam, so they have to let us have the Steam keys before the 26 of March. No idea about the GOG.com keys.
