I seriously doubt Ill play it like I used to, since I imagine most users will not be of similar age (unless the oldies come back to check it out). But Ill give it a go if it still has free users.
@DarkSaber2k @zzamaro Theyre technically not released. Their entire purpose, supposedly, is to allow you to play the game in order for you to report bugs and make the game better, all whilst being on a discount (I think, Im not 100% on that). So if they ARE discounted, and you would buy the game at release anyway, youre essentially being paid to be an alpha/beta tester.
Something like Arma 3, which looks fun as hell and actually quite polished for what it is, AND appears to be discounted is something that I might get in on early if I could. And also possibly a new game by a developer series that I love, like an Elder Scrolls game. Its like a preorder with actual benefits.
Well at least they didnt blame video games, though maybe they are implying it. Oh well, if you leave it up to people to infer then its practically a senseless article.
