noting that the game's Beta state means it's not ready for prime-time yet

It's not the game itself we're disappointed with, it's GOA handling of the entire process for the past couple of months.
The lies, deceit and empty promises...

They promised this wouldn't happen, and all of us that predicted they would mess up were proved right...

I'm one of the people who bought the CE versions so I would get a guaranteed spot in Open Beta, but guess what, I can't get in...

If this was a one off or GOA was a new company and this was their first attempt I'd be fine and say that these things happen, but as they have a history of doing this, it's worrying.

Currently I wish I had bought a US copy...
