Not at all, it rewards those who had faith in the company and made an investment based on that faith.

Nobody is saying preorders shouldn't get in, we're just saying that people with keys from other sources shouldn't be excluded just because they don't have enough money to throw around on video games all the time.

That implies that the only way you can really help the company is by giving them more money, and I don't think that CoH would've been what it is now - or that there would've been a CoH2 at all - if it was true.

Maybe that's the most important kind of support for them?

It certainly is. Giving priority just to people who spend more money isn't how you support the community though (which has already been very patient tbh).

Stop bitching alpha guys. If you are so pressured to get into closed beta, place the preorder -its that simple, for the time beeing.

You can also wait a bit longer, for open beta, IF you really can't put down the $$.
The behaviour of a kid, who got it's lolipop taken away, is pretty embarassing.

SNF are not valid for beta...well this is wrong in my opinion. I will buy the game I truly I will, it's not about the 50 euro or I don't know how much it will cost the game it's about respect...ok you respect your "money" base you give pre-orders early beta access and that's the right thing to do ....
But respect the hard base that keep you alive as a game for so many years and give the keys to the ones that earned it from SNF ...respect the pro players, the hours we spend watching them and the job of the commentators...sorry but I waiting so long to hear this???

I paid but didn't get into Alpha while some here did get into Alpha who didn't pay up front.

Folks here have it twisted. Its not a punishment to those who did not pre-order. Its a THANK YOU to those who stepped up and did pre-order the game sight unseen.

Its also still not too late to pre-order. I suggest you do it on Steam so we can unlock some more items! :D

You should expect to get in, but not to have some sort of exclusive access after they lead Eurogamer + Alpha players to believe that they would get immediate access. I downloaded alpha test the second it was released, gave feedback, and plan on paying for the game once its released. Just because you paid in advance doesn't mean you supported the game more, its not like the rest of us expected to get the game for free.

For some reason I feel critical feedback is more effective when you haven't already paid for the game. "Devs, unless you change these drastic design flaws, I'll, I'll..."

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to pre-order...but this isn't the way to get me to do so.

What feedback? You mean like on the alpha forums that were not even working back then? People who have already put down 60-100 dollars on the game have done a lot more to support the game as opposed to taking part in a short lived stress test.

Alpha and eurogamer keys still get in, just a few weeks later. If it matters that much all you have to do is pony up some cash and support the developers.

1) forums worked for me
2) Pre payment =/= investment, I don't know why everyone seems to think that. The only purpose in even pre ordering is for YOUR benefit- so you won't be tempted to go blow the cash while you wait. If Relic was relying on some preorder quota to properly fund the game, there wouldn't be a CoH2. When I pay for the game closer to the release date, it isn't any less supportive than the money you paid.

Just because the forums worked for you doesn't mean they worked for the majority of other people who were in the alpha, including myself. The balance feedback wasn't even the main goal of the alpha; it was to test their servers so they could be better prepared for the beta when the flood gates open.

I also fail to see how making a down payment on a game is not an investment. Sure you can still cancel the order before the game launches, but where do you think that money you put down is going? It isn't floating around in space that is for sure. The whole point of pre-orders is so early copies can be secured and to entice people with promotions such as the beta launching on April 2nd. Like it or not, Relic needs to give people a reason to pre-order the game which is why they are doing this.
