Reddit actually has a countermeasure if you follow the direct link and upvote. The best way to make sure your vote counts is to go directly to http://reddit.com/r/games and click on the new tab. Locate the article and upvote it there.

Btw, I think if you follow a direct link like that and upvote it actually countervotes it down.  Something like that.  So if you're specifically wanting to vote on it you may need to find it in the overall list and do it there.  Though I may be totally wrong on that :)

Interesting! I did not know that. Presumably linking through to comment is fine, though....?

I don't think it's breaking any rules, just wanted to let people know about the counter-voting thing in case it's relevant to them :)

Dammnit. I think this might get downvoted now because it says on the store page "this item is not yet available", which makes it appear like the game is not coming out today. Oh, well. It was worth a try.

When the game does hit Steam (hopefully in ~35 minutes). Add a comment that says "Alright, now it's officially out," or something along those lines. If you'd like to, of course.

Yeah, might as well to make sure people know I wasn't trolling, heh.

Well, as of right now it's still on /r/games front page. So at least people are aware and I'm sure we're scoring plenty of clicks. Of course it'd be nice if the game was on sale by now, but that won't be a problem if it can hang on for a few more hours.

What?  You mean that "Coming Soon" crap is something Steam actually does just before release?  That's BS, I'd rather have an actual counter.

I honestly don't know what's going on with that. Hopefully all (or at least most) will be forgiven within the hour.

The /r/games one has picked up nicely.

Here's one I just posted to /r/indiegaming: http://www.reddit.com/r/IndieGaming/comments/23e24n/our_arcen_games_latest_effort_the_last_federation/

Remember, follow the protocol mentioned earlier in the thread if you want your upvote to count.

Also feel free to answer the questions of people in the General Discussion section at Steam. Some are confused of the genre of the game.

Does anyone know why this is the case? Seems strange.
I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.
