I very much doubt they've killed it because some people are whining on a notoriously bad forum space. When the game is released it'll be reviewed by a bunch of people, some with a big community behind them (Total Biscuit, for instance, seems to like Arcen quite a bit and he's pretty big in the internet gaming scene, so I would expect a 'WTF is' from him) which will attract a lot of attention. Besides - it's the internet: things are eclipsed from day to day. So some kids flipping out over a beta on a forum probably won't be taken into account six months down the line...
