Dune Awakening Beta: A New Desert to Wander
Dune: Awakening's beta weekend feels less like a exclusive oasis and more like a crowded desert. The game’s shift from invite-only to pre-order access is a nice gesture, though it took player complaints for Funcom to budge—only hours after the initial launch. The delay in expanding access left many scratching their sandworms, but credit where due: they listened. Whether this MMO can rise above its overcooked IP remains to be seen, but one thing’s clear—Funcom’s learning to play the winds of change.
