This wouldn't happen if they viewed it the other way around, thinking of it as a pre-order plus complementary beta access.
So, yes, it all works out the same way, but if people are going to get mad about how they spent their money, a distinction then needs to be made  |
Yeah. It'd help if people saw it as helping test the beta and the eventual finished product is what they have paid/pre-ordered for.
It makes no sense to get upset considering just how raw/daunting this task is already. The fact that so many people are willing to help beta test to achieve a good/great first version should be commendable.
Imagine beta'ing OOTP 0.90. You can't expect it to look like or resemble OOTP 4/5/6 etc. right out of the chute.
