Warhammer 40k Eternal Closed Beta being given away on Alienware Arena is NOT the full game...

That unlocks the free portion of the game not the full game. They changed the business model so the full game costs $20 to unlock and they will be releasing $20 and $50 packs. You can read all the details in their new announcement below. Please beware if you've won a GA to this game.

Even if they will later be revoked the keys being given are effectively the full game and even drop cards.

Just another example of a dev not knowing how to actually run a proper beta.

To my understanding it's just the free 2 play portion not the full game. I've added the article from the Eternal Crusade site.

It should be but if that were the case it wouldn't drop cards. There currently is no separate F2P and whilst this may have limited content it's the same sub as the full game.

Even though Valve has support in place for proper beta subs that are separated from the main game and can be expired/removed without any impact on users it's becoming increasingly common for clueless devs to issue full game keys that they later just revoke.

O.o

You are already receiving 20,000 RTC* when you enter the game today. When we launch the new free version, the new $20 & $50 packages, you will also get a Steam giftable** version of the game.

** Steam game giftable goes out when we formally launch later this month, not now.
