Will this Game Release With Private Matches?

[King Flippy Nips]

at the title says im curious if anyone knows if private matches will be right out of the gates when it comes out on the 7th,

This is what I'm wondering, too. Not interested in purchasing if it's PvP vs randoms ONLY. Hopefully we can do private matches, too.

EDIT: After more digging, I see where a few people have said that you can indeed host your own private matches with friends. If that's true, then I'll consider purchasing for sure once I see what the reviews are like soon.

It's essentially all you can do, they have a browser to join lobbies, it's all p2p servers there is no dedicated. Basically, no matchmaking stuff. P2p in today's day and age is sketch without a VPN imo. Just be safe if you join random stuff.

If its like the play-tests, then its just P2P. You can password the lobby so it can be private.
But it just had a browser with an option to join or host.
For a very short time when the play-test began, you could set your preferences for map and game mode (DM/TDM/BomB) and then hit quick-play. But they patched the play-test and removed the quick play options. But it was still P2P and the host could drop at any time.

Sadly people undermine the actual real concerns of p2p and the EULA which says they will collect everything available to sell to third parties and governments. They could have clarified it on discord or on the forums but didn't which is a big red flag. People saying it's like all eulas just don't know what they are talking avoid and even large studios are getting fined by lack of GDPR compliance. This privacy protection protects everyone in the world as it's concern is anywhere in Europe the game originated and sold for. P2p alone allows anyone to see your IP address without much digging at all.
