Did you buy the e-mail list that the Nigerian Prince uses to give people millions for holding his money in a US account?

I was joking that you guys were spamming random people. After your last post, I get it only went out to inactives.

Wait, people think a beta label is form marketing? Stupid.
Then whales' dicks are for ships... makes as much sense. You'd have to seriously be stupid to come up with the OP's correlation. Makes me wonder how they learned English.

Sorry, honestly not trying to point out that anyone is dumb... people do that just fine by themselves by what they post. Just appalled by how many retarded threads keep appearing where the info in the OP is already answered if they took five seconds to look or is just common sense if they understood English. I'm not even a grammar Nazi or anything, but let's not try to give examples of how dumb we are with each post, let's put in a little effort. And for those are saying, oh I don't care... it shows, that's worse when you know how to do it right and knowingly do it wrong anyway.

It makes sense now that you explained it.

Look up perpetual beta.
It's pretty common among games. Even makes more sense for things like football that can't really rely on "expansion packs" to change things up.
It loosely translates to "we are still actively fixing bugs and issues". Most "released" games are full of bugs and issues that you just deal with, being in "beta" means you intend to fix them.
Except for gaming companies like Kabam... They use the beta tag as an excuse of why they haven't fixed long standing glitches, while they pursue the perpetual game item sales to the credit card warriors. If you manage to get ahold of their customer service, they blow you off with the "it's in beta" excuse, if something doesn't work or items disappear. When I started playing kingdoms of camelot on facebook 3 years ago, they had millions of likes. I looked at their web site last month and it had 4.1k likes...

Pre-access games like Starbound are essentially pre-orders - users get the full final product when it is released without paying any extra. GLB uses a different pricing model (pay per player or team) and therefore not really a good comparison. For example, I don't know of a single MMO that charged its users a monthly fee during the open beta period, and that is a much better comparison to GLB's pricing model.
In the Guild Wars 2 Beta, they refunded any money spent on microtransactions upon release.

Though not an MMO, it makes PERFECT sense for an MMO. People pay the premium to get the head start on how to dominate the game, and make others look like noobs when it launches.
