Crucible Players Are Not Happy With the Game's Return to Closed Beta

By Marc Deschamps - June 30, 2020 08:56 pm EDT

Earlier today, Amazon made the unprecedented move of returning Crucible to "closed beta" status. The move comes after a number of struggles out of the gate, but developer Relentless Studios seems intent on listening to player feedback and making Crucible a more enjoyable experience. While that result might still come to pass, in the meantime, a lot of players are unhappy with the news. Many are demanding their money back from Amazon, and some think that the title just might be beyond fixing. It remains to be seen whether or not Crucible can be salvaged, but for now, it's hard to blame fans for being upset.

Some feel misled.

@PlayCrucible It would be nice to get a statement, regarding the rip off $30 pack you offered for a 50% complete game!! Back tracking and going to closed beta is moving in the wrong direction. You need to do the RIGHT thing and refund the people who were MISLED!!!!

Others think it's time to pack it in.

Bound to fail, just refund everyone their $30 that they spent on the pack and just call it quits

The developers definitely have an uphill battle ahead.

I hope you turn this around one day; but it’s going to need some serious love and big changes to bring the excitement back into the game

The name doesn't seem to be doing it any favors.

Y'all just need to decide if this is a moba or hero shooter. The combo isnt working. Pick one, then please God rebrand under a new name. Destiny is filling my discovery timeline.

Some are having a laugh at the game's expense.

amazon's Crucible got pulled from steam and put back into closed beta cause their player base dwindled so hard they closed off all but 1 game mode lmao

Not everyone is discouraged, however.

Crucible isn't a game that interests me but I still am encouraged that Amazon seems willing to take their games back into development to make them better, rather than digging in their heels.
