I was doing the same thing. I didn't realize how crappy Reddit had become until I was forced to look at Popular instead of my custom subreddits. Oh well, I was still using RIF to keep up on a couple of subreddits, but honestly, I've been making a lot better use of my free time, so maybe it's good for me for it to be gone for good
It's funny, I have been waiting as well, and just bought it last night for 50% off. I think I'll wait for this update to actually start playing it, though
