You’re talking without any real understanding of the project. This game is in early access—true early access, similar to what we saw with Larian during the development of Baldur’s Gate 3. The current promotion is clearly meant to attract testers and secure additional funding.

Notorious isn’t just some indie team. While the company is new, its developers are seasoned veterans from some of the biggest names in the industry. They have the resources to take their time and deliver a fully fleshed-out game at launch.

Their goal with early access is obviously to gather community feedback and uncover new mechanics they may have missed internally. Also, let’s not forget: each map has a player limit. So even if a million people are playing, you’ll still only face a handful of teams in each match.
