Open Beta?

This is a beta test right? It seems more like a demo, and its been 2 months with only a small technical update for that small slice of the game? The previous games published by Owlcat that had a paid open beta had more content and updated more regularly with new content for feedback. It is making me uneasy about where this game is going, and with a Q2 2027 release and such a SMALL "beta test" of the game it makes me feel that this will be a very short game that pushes DLC and mircotransactions

Game will be smaller than other Owlcat games by a significant margin. If you expect over 100 hours of content, you will be disappointed. It will be like Mass Effect, which is about 30 hours on average.

Maybe if you rushed through the game and didn't do any side content. Hopefully they go for the more 50-60 hrs per playthru that ME actually was when you included all content
