Mecha BREAK's popular open beta slammed by 'Mostly Negative' Steam reviews for security, monetization concerns

Mecha BREAK.

The open beta for Mecha BREAK — a free-to-play multiplayer third-person shooter that's headed to Xbox and Windows PC as a timed console exclusive later this year — went live on PC on Sunday and has been hugely popular so far, with over 300,000 concurrent Steam users flooding into its mecha-filled battlefields mere hours after it started. However, while the demo has attracted lots of players, it's also come under fierce fire from the community.

At the time of writing, only 33% of the 5,182 Steam user reviews left for the game award it a positive score. That means a whopping 3,431 of them have given the red thumbs down, resulting in a scathing "Mostly Negative" rating for the beta.
