But why not?

Surely you're the only ones not doing it, no?

I wouldn't beta test a game unless you paid me out the ass to do it.

I'm not an idiot, I know it's a fucking job, and I know I have /no control over what I'd be testing.

Because the quality of the game is the dev's responsability and I shouldn't have to pay for it.
If you want feedback make a free closed beta or release a demo.

Because they should welcome the help, not make me pay to test if the game actually works.

But this is the case right now.

Depends on the game. Random indie trash? Fuck no.

Something like witcher 3 that I'd pay for the day it comes out anyway? Yea I could see that.

>>333259216
No.
>>
No.

Amazon sends you beta codes for free if you pre order though.

You don't get charged a dime for pre ordering.
