40 bucks on Steam to be a beta tester doesn't sounds like a good deal to me.
There are many community members who will buy it happily, but if this game wants to be sold on Steam it should have been in a better shape...
Newcomers to the community are irritated by some game-breaking issues, they happen sometimes even to post on the fora and all they get is an iper-supportive, always-defensive fanbase wich will ask them to download third party DDLs, hotfixes and multiple patches.
I completely understand why such a newcomer should shelf this game (or even ask for refund), if you look to other strategy studios you can see that their games, even as not immersive as Ageod's, are at least stable, polished and "working as designed".
It's sad to say that Ageod took a back track since CW2, they are exploiting their fanbase with DLCs and premature releases, at the same time not caring about newcomer's point of view...
As a member of the fanbase, I used to tell myself that a game about a certain period is way better than no game at all, but as years and bad releases comes by, I'm starting to regret on this.
And by the way, I keep wondering: "why wait for 6 months, wait for a steam release (and bad reviews), to get hotfixes that should have been made BEFORE publishing the game?"
