Lame excuse.

AAAAA studios do not get a pass anymore. Billion dollar companies have zero excuses in my eyes. Don’t care the company or what they produce. Defending these companies is nothing more then Stockholm syndrome.

Not an excuse… You apparently don’t know what alpha is if you think the definition changes based on who makes it. It means you should expect it to be unpolished, full stop. Many major bugs and technical issues define what is called an alpha.

Also, than*

Also I’m not sure how someone who barely plays games has Stockholm syndrome. My only skin in the game here is I think valve is normally decent.

I know exactly what the term alpha SHOULD mean…also beta. These billion dollar companies know too but don’t give a rats ass. Stop defending these corporations.

If this was Independent development, I wouldn’t even be saying anything. Once a billion dollar company enters the scene, the rules are different. I’m done giving a rats ass about what normal should be with these AAAAASA studios.

Like I said, AAAAA does not get a pass on bullshit anymore. Fuck em

Once again. I’m only telling you what alpha means. Since if you think the context changes that definition, you don’t know how the word works. No one is getting a pass. If the game sucked in its final version we all should shit on it. That’s not remotely what this is

Also why are people who get so angry about gaming stuff the most hard headed mother fuckers on the planet?

Bruh it’s a free secret game. Valve hasn’t even announced that the game exists. This is the period in time when alphas normally happen.

It’s… A closed alpha that is getting close to zero publicity. it’s na actual alpha as an alpha is intended to be.

If it was pay per entry as all those early access steam games are, sure, but this is an actual closed alpha, for testing bugs and balance.
