You might not remember Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon Online, which still surprisingly exists despite being in beta since Summer 2012. The game will be heading to Steam Early Access for PC soon – with news still pending about a full release – but online producer Corey Facteau has attempted to explain the decision to Eurogamer.

“Bringing Ghost Recon Online to Steam has been our goal since the game’s inception. We took the time necessary to reach a quality level that can go head to head with the best online games available today before releasing on Steam.

“As the top shooter for gamers who enjoy team gameplay, we have also seen our audience expand to include MOBA fans, who comprise fifty percent of our user base. To ensure a seamless transition to the new platform, we will use Early Access to fine tune the Ghost Recon Online experience before releasing it to the rest of the world.”

Good enough or do you just want the game complete and released at last? Let us know in the comments below.
