It’s often frustrating and not always a net good time. Ideally you want a dedicated QA team to handle that, although OOTPD’s system of using volunteers is OK.

Not sure if same for beta testers but from what I understand a common them from QA/bug testers people they don't want to play the game they tested afterwards
