SI are reluctant to release it too early due to Steams refund policy. I bought FM 23 last year, played the beta solid for a week. Realised it wasn't improving in the right direction for me. So refunded it no questions asked as the game hadnt actually released yet. 

 

Reading the forums and sub on Reddit at the time, I wasn't the only one. 

 

It didn't help that FM 23 was very underwhelming, but that 2 week window of playing the beta before release give the opportunity for lots of people to play and return for free

As far I am aware, the Steam refund policy is only applicable if you have played a game for less than two hours.

So, you must have not done much in said solid week of playing the beta.

You are correct, but as I explained in the post, because it's the beta, you can refund at any time with as many hours played as you want

Two weeks is a good time to form an opinion about the game. In addition, there will be a demo version after release, so there is no point in rushing. I still play FM22 because this engine fulfills 95% of my ideas. I tried the FM23 demo and realized that I was not ready to waste my time on it. That's how it works, Miles doesn't force you to pre-order the game.

The public beta is not a privilege, but a last-ditch attempt to polish the game with a large number of "agents". Obviously, before public release of beta it needs to be prepared into the necessary conditions.

It’s either Monday 23rd or Thursday 26th.

As much as I want it today, tomorrow, enough people have tried to undermine Miles by giving their own release date.

As such, through pure spite, we have a week to wait.

If he waits to the 26th that would be a beta of 10 days. I think I'll have refunded by then!

It was pretty clear in half an hour the game wasn't good. At least Jacobson this time has admitted so, a step forward.

We had some developments last night. New steam DB new video changes. Miles being unhappy at the comms team who put up the steam description. Wild stuff 

I was here until about 10:30 when the wife told me to get off my phone

Not a chance today. It's always been Thursday, deep down we've always known that.

This is as obvious as the fact that waiting for FM is just an excuse to show your deep human instincts by publishing animated GIFs
