coady Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 6 minutes ago, girotex8 said: The release of the beta is largely beneficial to them though, because it gives them large amounts of data to iron out issues and bugs and make their product and the company better and more valuable. If they just released it on a pre-announced date every year, with no room for grey areas, I think most people would be totally fine. I don't think people should be unpleasant or abusive ever, but I also don't think it's unreasonable to expect some comms in the lead up to the release of a product that many people have paid a decent amount of money for. People are genuinely planning days off work or hanging around here for days, wondering when it might be. Is it so outrageous to ask that a member of the team comes on and says ''it won't be today'' at midday each day, or ''it's at least a few days away''? But they do. They say clearly it'll be out a minimum of 2 weeks before the full release. If you're booking days of work to play it, you just book from 14 days before full release?

And many of us have paid for the early access, as we do every year. Look it's an amazing game, an amazing product and it's given us all so much pleasure for a long time. Incredible work they do. I just don't think it would hurt to have better comms in the lead up to the release of the beta. Constructive criticism. No the Pre-Editor doesn't come out until Nov 6th .
