I'd prefer it release with modding tools so the community could make maps and skins. I'd also prefer it to release with the ability to host my own server. I also don't give a shit about meaningless ranking. All this shit is a poison pill for me.
Every game should have this tbh. A lot of the big genres and games in recent years came from literally this. Modern mobas and battleroyals come to mind .
Instead what we have is Epic delisting all the Unreal and Unreal Tournament games from all the stores and shutting down the master servers for the multiplayer games. There was a time when games were going to be restricted, but managed to survive on the basis that they were art and therefor protected under free speech laws. You can't even get American McGee's Alice legally anymore and it was absolutely art created by masters of the engine at that point.
