Hi! Here to dispel a few myths or assumptions that you might have:

- We have 2 purposes with this beta. Test our features and get real feedback from players (hence the 6 weekend rollout) and give players a chance to test without the 2 hour countdown looming over them (confirmed it won't count towards it)

- We have a very capable and talented QA team! They're the bees knees. But players also want a say, so here's a beta for you to do that!

- That artwork was me! I did that so people would know that if they pre-ordered, they could come test the beta out! The fact you noticed it, meant I did my job right! Woohoo!

Hope this helps!

Liam

For some people who pre-ordered before the first Beta Weekend, it looks like Steam didn't update their library automatically.

Closing Steam via the Task Manager may also help.

We are sorry that you do not agree with our price point. During our beta weekends you can play for as many hours as you like and still get a refund up until the last beta weekend on the last day :)

Alien creatures are around the corner! You'll get to experience them in time,
