I'm mystified. They have it in a place where they'd let people play it but they didn't show a single video all day.

Just from how uncomfortable everyone seems I wonder if they consider this a "Sink or Swim" moment. Either it works fine, if a little buggy, but it reinvigorates the fanbase, or it will be terrible and the 1000 first players will tell everyone it is unplayable.

This is actually pretty good strategy in making sure the first people playing it will be True Believers.

It's still gonna be a catastrophic buggy mess, but hey!

Yeah, they did the same thing with AC 0.9 when it was launched. Limited invite at first and then opened up as they fixed a few critical issues.

I'm curious if the 1k limit thing is so they can "release it" without releasing it. I mean, maybe just nobody with a Twitch account gets an invite? It's like Schrodinger's video game.

Give 100-250 to the long term suckers highest backers so encourage them to give more money.
250 to streamers to show it off for free and encourage people who haven't access to give more.
499 given to sock accounts to fake post how great it is.
1 given to Derek.

Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.
the real disaster here- despite how awful the livestream has been- is that their site has been up and down for the last three hours. if this show did somehow inspire someone to want to purchase, RSI.com has made it drat near impossible.

They need big infusion days to be as easy as possible since their baseline revenues have sunk to the ~$20K daily level. But instead they've offered Bad Gateways and incomplete checkouts.
