So yea the people that got all 36 potato's have the game unlocked. I guess that counts as releasing it early right dev?

Golden potatoes get early unlock!
Game just unlocked for me Now decrypting.. slowly ^^
I'm not convinced until they actually play the game. I seem to recall in past releases valve allowing decrypting to happen early for most of the game, then holding back a single crucial file from decryption.
And people showing "portal 2" in games playing doesn't mean they actually are.
Edit: I think one way it can be sure is to examine the portal 2 store page and see if it shows anyone who owns it is playing it. Out of my maxed out friends list (I think its like 250?) no one is yet playing it. So pretty sure no early unlocks for golden potatoes.
