Okay, maybe I am interested a little bit. Private servers are always a welcome addition to a game, especially online only games. At least if official servers shut down, I can run my own server and keep playing.

"Rentable" not self hosted

I hate that rentable but not self-hostable gaming servers have become a thing.

That's disappointing, but if you can turn off sandworm gear loss, maybe still worth it.

I found in the beta that it is remarkably hard to get swallowed by the worm unless you're careless. I think the worm mechanic is just fine and adds a fun sense of danger to the game world.

My bf also played the beta, and there were lots of big areas to cross to do the main storyline where it's hard to avoid them. I feel like instant death with permanent inventory loss will lead to us not playing for very long, and it seems like a cool game, so I'm hoping to avoid that.

This game is developed by the same company that made Conan Exiles, which was a worthwhile purchase at $5 or even $20 for the Early Access but is a horrible buggy mess. They're just there for a cash grab and it'll be the same in this case as well.

I actually got Conan for my dad, he enjoyed playing it, but now he is into Helldivers 2.

It was an okay game, but not my cup of tea personally.
