They are going to lose so many sales by taking so long to release it. I'd be surprised if they sold even half ass many copies as the first one did. If they released last year at this time they would have grabbed a bunch of people that got impatient waiting for D3.At this point their best bet will be the TL MMO, assuming that's still on track. A Massively Mutlipayer DClone could be interesting or a complete mess.
If they released last september , as they prommised - they would made a killing sales. Even if they released it early this year.
Now people bought expensive D3+GW2 ... i dont even see opportunity to play Torchlight 2 in at least 6-10 months , and by then it will be discounted even more.
So instead grabbing sales from whole Darpg market , they will grab only die hard fans + d3 deniers.

Real bad buisness decision on their part
Have to agree.
Even if I get it for free I'll be passing for now for above reasons.
I thought I had a Runic Games account, but it turns out all I had was a forum account from when I purchased TL1. So I have my account, hopefully a beta invite will be incoming shortly. If not, meh, whatever. Buying through Steam seems like a likely thing anyway. :-)
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

Around 26 hours ago I think.
Size of the download pls?
Hard to say, I went afk and it dl'ed some patches too. Initial dl was around 750ish mb, then it did some patchings. Seems to be ready now, pretty quick, all in all.
At least ... it says wrong PW but I think the event hasn't started yet. It should start at 11 AM PDT which should be 18:00 GMT/UTC, which should be 20:00 CET. i.e. 4 hours from now. Is that correct? I be very bad at maths.
+1 for getting to pick gender and preset faces, hairstyles and hair colors. Also many pet options. Pretty extensive character creation for a hack and slasher.
+1 for very impressive music too. Cellos (especially when played by women just in pj's).
