    Yeah, I feel the same way. Definitely puts an odd taste in the mouth the way they are doing it. Thankfully there are more games out there, due to life I probably have nearly 1,000 unplayed games in my Steam library.

      For Valve, this is actually a more open way than they have historically done. Typically Valve publicly gives very little to no information on a project until it’s done or almost done.

        I’m 1,000,000% cool with both open and closed beta’s, but when a “closed” beta breaks records of online players like that, is it actually closed? The game has been throughly documented before its release… Feels like reading a booked based on a movie after watching the movie.
