* HilariousInHindsight: The initial backlash caused by the pre-release reveal the game wouldn't be based on the Westwood version of the ''Dune'' franchise (''i.e.'' "no House Ordos") became this in retrospect, when the first DLC introduced a faction similar to House Ordos.

** The TruerToTheText premise of the game wasn't appreciated by fans of the older ''Dune'' Westwood RTS games, who wanted a pure ''C&C''-like RTS instead of a 4X-RTS hybrid. Other "change" criticized included the Atreides no longer being blue and the lack of House Ordos, two elements that weren't in the canon franchise but are original to Westwood's version to begin with.

* GuideDangIt: In ''Conquest'' mode, one of the conditions for victory is to befriend the Fremen, but the game doesn't tell you how to do so. To earn points with the Fremen, the player must ally sietchs in the various scenarios and not pillage them.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some elements of the game's interpretation of the ''Franchise/{{Dune}}'' resulted in a backlash from vocal minorities of the fandom since ''Dune: Spice Wars'' announcement. It seems to have died down a couple of weeks after the game's early access release, though.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The game version of Liet-Kynes is based on their portrayal from the [[Film/Dune2021 2021 film]] (where the character is a woman played by the black British actress Sharon Duncan-Brewster) instead of the character's description from the novel (where the character is a blonde man). The game's discussion board on Steam contains ''a lot'' of threads complaining about this change.
