Yeah, and i cant even describe how disappointed i am. Couple of photos and video in a month doesnt really feel anything after this painful praying and waiting time.

i7 7700k, gtx1080 and 16GB of RAM. Still waiting since first week x)

I got an invite on Friday, no link to download yet though.  I applied pretty early on, and have a fast machine with a fast internet connection. 9900k, 2080 Ti, 32GB, 1Gb symmetrical fiber internet.

This was posted here this afternoon. Was a public message. Now they have deleted it but...

Really hope they don’t mean to everyone who got accepted! I mean if they did wouldn’t they clearly say “to all testers” or “to all who got accepted”?
 

We can hope!

Evebody who got accepted or are in already. 
Pointless to even think they would open it for everybody.

I remember the FSX beta, they eventually opened it to everyone and it was basically a demo at that point.

To everyone who registered maybe... they did say everyone who registered will eventually get access to it. So no not pointless to be optimistic on what they meant. Anyway if we don’t get it now we will get it later.
