APB Beta Fail

First and foremost we want to be clear that Beta Application Keys guarantees that you will have a chance to APPLY for access to the APB Reloaded Closed Beta, regardless of how you received your key (from us, through one of our media partners like IGN or from fan sites, since we will be handing out application keys in the next few days to select partner sites as well).

So the application you have on their site only grants you the possibility to get a "Key" which then allows you to apply to beta where you may or may not get a "Key" to actually beta the game..

Then there is this gem:

NO - we will NOT have any of your original payment data on our side, and therefore you also will have no RTW points or cash-equivalent credits. We simply have no information about anything you bought via EA, Digital River nor Steam. So we will have no idea what you did or did not purchase back during the original run of the game. No point in asking us. We simply don't know. If you tell us you spent a bizillion dollars we might feel really sorry for you. And the best sad story might very well win you some sympathy and recognition from our development team. But we simply don't have the data (nor the money) from whatever happened back then. Remember, that company simply does not exist any longer. I know I am going to have to repeat this information many times

This means that people who PAID for the game the first time don't get into beta at all. Which means they will likley be required to BUY the game again (if they so choose..)

As if this game wasn't enough of a clusterfuck already these guys are doing an awesome job of making it fail again.
