problems at release are not because they didn't work on it.
i was in the F&F beta before the DDE beta. bug hunting and replication, server stressing, client side issues were a huge priority.
even the DDE beta was a real beta, not a glorified demo
RO2:HoS at release is more playable for me than most recent FPS games

looks like damn good support from my view
