Players are widely interpreting this acquisition as a strong indicator that Valve is preparing for either a full public launch or an extensive open beta test for Deadlock. Currently, the game is undergoing a semi-closed testing phase, where existing participants have the ability to extend invitations to other players, gradually expanding the testing pool.
