Artifact 2 Beta

I respect the effort Valve is putting on Artifact and I hope the new game is good and I'll maybe even give it a try.
But saying I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for it would be a lie. My hype for the game, and card games in general, is past its prime.
Still, I'm surprised Valve didn't send invites for people who previously bought the game a beta invite first, it would go a long way to recover some of the goodwill lost after the whole dancing monkeys thing.
