I also agree that the publisher could have stated it was going to be a paid beta, but I doubt that would have garnered enough funds to continue development.
We have multiple choices..
1. We can help the developer as much as we can with beta testing and constructive criticism
2. We can enjoy the features that are in the sim until others features are added or fixed
3. We can buy the sim and move on to other things and hope our monetary support will make a difference
4. We can wait a few years for another developer
5. We can spam the forums with vindictive negativity that can only drive away prospective customers, so we can tell everyone we told you so in an empty forum.

Chivas, #1 is fine but it would be nice to know that the bug reports are being used. What I would really like to see from luthier is a list of recognised bugs that can be built on by the community. At the moment there is a lot of repetition simply because no-one knows whether the devs are listening.
