Reviving this thread by request of the OP.

Probably because Sony wants to create all the incentive they can to encourage people to buy a PS4.

As far as I understand, it's a console exclusivity deal with Sony. Console exclusivity doesn't prevent a game from releasing on PC (or mobile, afaik), but it does prevent it from releasing on a competing home console. In a lot of marketing lately, the "console" part of console exclusivity is often left out, which causes some confusion when, say, an "Xbox One exclusive" game is announced for the PC as well.

My Chester has arrived! Small dog included in photo for scale.

Just got my shipment confirmation and tracking number. Looks like I'll have my Chester within the next few days!

I went with my first name (it's a fairly common one so I'm not really concerned about submitting it) with my forum name in quotes next to it.

You'll should eventually get a proper redemption link through Kickstarter, then. I don't think the digital rewards have been officially sent out, but that kind of thing does sometimes show up early on Humble (there's a few other things I've backed on Kickstarter that have popped up early in my library as well). Edit: Or maybe they have been sent out and I forgot! If that's the case and you can't find the email, then contacting Klei would be the thing to do.

You should actually already have it! (at least, I already have mine and have had it for a while now) Log into Humble Bundle (with the same email you use for Kickstarter) and check the "Claim Past Purchases" thing at the top of your library page. Should be redeemable up there.

Woo, just filled out the survey! Won't be much longer now...

Same here on the 'no survey yet' thing. I'm going to give it a bit more time or wait for a response from Klei before I send out a support email, since with all the people saying they haven't gotten theirs, it seems pretty likely that the surveys just haven't been sent out yet. Edit: And there's the response email. No surveys have been sent out yet, but they should go out sometime this week.

I guess the old emote is going to have to be retired.

Assuming you bought it through the Humble widget on the Don't Starve website, you can redeem the keys that are on your Humble page on Steam. More details can be found on this page. If you misplaced the email from Humble that linked you to your keys, you can use their key resender.

ESCtoy sent out a newsletter yesterday, but I suppose not everyone got it. I'll copy the part that has to do with the Chesters: And it also included this image:

You can disable automatic updates for Don't Starve by right clicking on it and going to its properties. It is not Klei's responsibility to keep mods working with the game as it's updated, it's the responsibility of the modders that create those mods.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, as I'm not super familiar with Linux, but it looks like you're running open-source drivers, and a lot of games just won't run on open-source drivers. Have you tried the official drivers?
