'We heard your feedback': Funcom just reversed course and opened up the Dune: Awakening beta weekend to anyone who preorders the survival MMO

Good news for lovers and sand, spice, and/or worms: Dune: Awakening's beta weekend, which started today and will run until May 12, is now open to anyone who preordered the survival MMO.

It's also mildly perplexing news because, y'know... why weren't players who preordered the $50 game on Steam automatically included in the beta weekend in the first place?

"Everyone who has pre-ordered Dune: Awakening can now also access the Beta Weekend!" Funcom announced on social media a few hours after the beta went live.
