  Remember when games used to, at least sometimes… do actual internal beta testing to iron out performance bugs and such?

  Now we are all alpha and beta testers, all the time.

  Sometimes even AAA and ‘AAAA’ games release, and then unrelease before the alpha or beta is even done!

  Yeah, patient gaming for me, haven’t preordered or gone into an early access game in almost a decade now…

  • maybe multiplayer isn’t very populated if you wait too long

  • ???

  Preordering games: I need this digital product before jt goes up in price or runs out of copies!
