No PC beta?

...but then again, the game almost about to be released (this month )

To have a good version on PC: All the UI must be modified to be usable with a mouse and a keyboard.

^this. I think a feedback before the release is always good. If the players are disappointed from the beginning on there isn't much hope left, because most of the players sadly don't give games another try if they once had a bad experience with it. It's better if the beta was not that good than a bad finished game which people don't like from the first hour on for some reasons (bad interface, too complicated etc.)

PC bêta for sure, sick of seeing ultimate noobs playing on PS4 because it's free (and only because of it, I mean some don't even notice that the different environments have different gameplay, I even watched someone launch the game, play Canyon A1, finish it and say : "this game is cool but it can be boring fast", stfu you played 2 minutes..)

People who are not that competitive and who play Trackmania will likely have the complaint that there's no "bumping each other off the road", etc.

Personal opinion : not being a competitive player doesn't prevent people from learning about the mechanics offered by the game they will be playing. (In this case, lack of collisions. And even so, they will probably hear about the secret modes.)

I have nothing against non-competitive player tho, I've been a noob too, but giving keys to random people who didn't give a fuck about the game has lead to bad videos, I've seen maybe 10 videos about people playing campaign, trackbuilder, online ect.. and I liked maybe 1 or 2 videos.

I used to think like that, but seeing people getting progressively better after a few tracks is amazing. You can see their learning curve trough the videos. I just wished more people used the Track Editor tho.

Anyway, there's only 2 weeks left, no need to get mad now, its almost there, im pretty sure the game is 95% ready, just recieving refinements + clean up.

Yeah, indeed. But it's a common complaint that I've heard from people talking about Trackmania.

I'm kinda used to it after more than 10 years of NoCollisions bashing
That was one of the most common "troll" in news comments for every Trackmania post. (then we got starforce news trolls, then maniaplanet, ubisoft, Uplay ^_^)
From what I've read on the internent, I believe the NoCollision bashing has almost ended these days, it's very rare, even from new players of TMT.
