Two things:That's probably true but then the annual sales would have had to be postponed to sometime next year (actually hoping 3.0 will be finished (i.e. bug free) next year sometime.
1) It isn't an "annual" sale, it is the "anniversary sale" which coincides with their reaching their crowdfunding goal back in Nov. 2012. So, the anniversary sale is going to happen at about the same time every year...just like the holiday sale happens around the holidays...unless you want CR to postpone Christmas until 3.0 is released, ha ha!
2). When released, 3.0 isn't going to be "bug-free." It is still alpha, but alpha dressed up nicely to be a game, so backers have something to play to help justify their belief & money spent on the game. It shouldn't have game-crashing or experience-ruining bugs, but you still are going to have somethings that break. That is just the nature of alpha.
