Summary
I’ve done some testing, and here’s what I observed:
If I join a public game simultaneously with my alt account (which is not on my friend’s list), we get placed in the same match. If my alt account joins about a minute after I created the match, it can still enter. However, after 3–5 minutes, joining that public game is no longer possible.
What I want is for public games to remain joinable even hours later, as long as there are still players in the match.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?

Currently you can’t join a ongoing game after 3-5 minutes, and will create a new public game (This results in everyone playing solo)
