Originally, Valve screwed up sending out notifications to anyone who had wishlisted Planet Centauri when it came out of early access. As a consolation prize Valve offered the devs the opportunity to put their game on the front page in the “daily deals” section and gave them the option to select from some dates. The devs selected November 12th. This also happened to be the announcement day of the new Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller. The entire front page of the store got squished down to make way for the big announcement, essentially knocking Planet Centauri accidentally out of the way.
