Just had a thought.
Game's still in open beta. I think, when there'll be official release, the RenX might be green lighted on steam, then the number of online users will peek.
RenX will finally get his fixes, patches, tweeks etc. Will be more playable, have less crashes, servers and the gameplay on them will be more stable and perhaps it will be available on Linux and Mac os with out any launch support software. (If it's available already, apologies.)
That will be the point where game will require a good "spread-word" and promoting through (indie) game reviewers (or by ourselfs if any of us have a good hardware to record gameplay).
Think of such minecraft, while it still was in mid-beta it gained a big interest, although the game had a lot of annoying bugs and setting up the server was a challenge for average user. Why? Youtube was buzzing with minecraft various, humorous and eye-catching videos. Hopefully RenX won't have such big need, or won't be overrated (if it can )
We can dig out many other examples of "indie" games that have been recognized through over mentioned method. Minecraft isn't the best one but it went to the point where everybody knows it.
What's your point of view guys? So far I am worried that the RenX will get a bad opinion because of the state it's in and impatiences of players that are not entirely C&C Renegadized.
