The twist is only people with a beta code can play it even on launch. It's gone up to 40k constant players and I still don't have a code, Valve are mocking me.

They gave them out to everyone who was scaned for the last Hardware survey lol

Whaaaaat, I have a top comp, what were the requirements?

well you have to have accepted the prompt to say you were ok with Valve collecting anonymous information about your system at some point and after that it is a random sample every few months or so. Check you inventory (little envelope in the top right) you may have a key and not know it.
