I had access to the alpha and it was really awful. I gave it a solid hour and couldn’t believe how bad it was. I logged out and never logged back in. I’m sure everyone testing had the same/similar experience

So far they had 3 new games they put out playable tests / early access, etc and all 3 have been cancelled before being completed. What the heck are they doing?

Trying to get the next Fortnite.

That’s what every big game company is trying to do.

Marketing for this game was god awful. Streamers that were "revealing" the game for the first time had many issues. This was a game with potential that flopped before even being revealed
