Other studios: hyping a game 3 years away from release date (which will definitely be delays for another 2 years with half the content cut).

Valve: barely make an "announcement" of a game in "early development", which already fully functional, near complete, with 90K peak players/beta testers.

Did they formally announce it, though? Yes, it has a Steam page now and the NDA was lifted, but I don't think I've seen any formal announcements from Valve about it yet.

If anyone is able to send me an invite to this, please send me a dm, thanks

It's honestly a pretty fun game! It is Overwatch+Dota and the way they've done landing/farming with last hits and denies in a shooter is really interesting.

Team fights are fairly chaotic and I can't tell what's going on, and honestly there might be too much complexity, but the moment to moment gameplay is really solid. Movement and shooting feel great, combat is chunky and satisfying, and comebacks are semi common.

IDK if I have the desire to get into another MOBA like this, but this is unique enough to enjoy playing with friends for awhile.
