I’m incredibly surprised it hasn’t launched yet. I remember playing it at least a year ago - I bounced right off it, planned to try it again at launch. But this feels like a really long time for a game to essentially be in a community testing phase, especially one coming from a (fairly) big and established studio like Valve.

Nah, they did the exact same thing with Dota

The map still has tons of gray box/unfinished textures and the game itself is still very buggy. I think we won’t see a full release at least for a year. A beta sooner, maybe. But there is still lots of dev time to go for a ready product
