As Tiago said, it was FTP.  The game itself actually has a very strong community from what I know.  But yeah, the beta was practiacally a release.  Just called a beta imo to hide the fact that everything wasnt available at launch.  As i said before, its similar to Killer Instinct in that regard where its continuously being worked on.  

But as you seen with KI, even though the game is praised to being one of the best fighters it got mixed reviews because it only had 6 characters at launch.  It it would have released with all 24 with a story in 2016 it would have recieved around a 90 in my opinion.

Just one of those things about releasing games when you know its not exactly finished. Slapping beta on it helps

What was the overral public reception of KI anyway? I've seen people on the internet asking for KI3 for years and when it finally came... it seems not a lot of people cared about it?

Did the free-to-play nature of the game killed it or something? Or is it popular and I just don't know about it?

you could never judge real world reception and hype from internet. If you could Castlevania would sell in the millions

IMHO Killer instinct was never that big even in its heyday it was still overshadowed by Mortal Kombat Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter etc
