Oleg would consider this? You think? I think its more likely I'll win the lottery.

The more eyes, the more bugs, problems can be spoted and solved.

Combining it with a pre-buy... another win-win.

Ofcourse... if you have something to test...

also gives fresh cash

A "payed beta"? It would never, never, never work with this community (lol)...

The very idea is hilarious...in fact, this MUST be a joke, right?

lolno, pre purchase the simulator and free beta for pre-purchasers

You should read the whole thing, buddy. ;)

You buy the full simulation now and get the beta now as a bonus until the full version is released.


And this is not to please fanboys or something. It's an offer, one that you don't have to take.
At the same time EagleDynamics can run the beta on a wide variety of systems and as such eliminate possible incompatibilities.


This is quite common, for modern games. BoP and X-plane did the same, BTW, so this is nothing new and fearsome, even in the flightsim-genre.

Yes, just a bad joke...very few of us would qualify for such a role:grin:

True.

You got to be able to read and understand before posting as a needed qualification. :-P

What's so wrong with this community?

I've played hundreds of games in the last 28 years, now IL2 1946 is the last one, lost interest in anything else, except SOW.

I think this forum for example, is pretty mature. The average age is past 30 - 35, we all have (or had :-P ) our responsibilities in life and I think most of us have the heart at the right spot with this product.

The most important thing anyone that becomes a beta-tester should remember: NO FEATURES CAN OR WILL BE ADDED.

I choose yes, I have the time and the devotion plus more than 20 years in exploiting bugs for my own amusement, and I love to observe and analyze. Gaming for me is a lot of behavioral testing and enjoying ambience... I seldom play until the end.

And if I say devotion... this time I really feel I can and will contribute. Even if I can only get my hands on it after SOW has become gold.

Oleg won't get a penny as long as you're ordering through stores and middle men this early. It would have to be some direct distribution done by 1c/maddox games, if the money is gonna matter(pre-order wise).

For this project i believe a closed beta would be best.
