As we can see, paid closed betas are a great idea!

always wait a long time before buying a single player game is my motto nowadays. youll get it at a cheaper price, with less bugs.... probably lol

Ah another comrade from the "wait it out" camp.

Nothing is sweeter than getting a 10 year old game for $1 when it cost $60+ release day. Since I'm always behind there is no shortage of options.

There's always some big patch that comes out and most things are actually good after that. What makes me real sus is that their patch came like, a day after. As a developer myself... Idk what they could have done in a day that boosted performance that much. Honestly I have no idea. It's be minimum a week for me to investigate, trace down the longest running things, and then build and test the fix. Not a day
