Borderline comments are on both sides. Hard to say who is reacting to who, but that is certainly the case. It is obvious that there are quite a few ppl that always see the CloD glass half empty and try to impose their views on others (such are also comments accusing others of being in denial). Other people find this a reason to post something positive about the situation.

IMO whatever you are - a negative or positive person - you are part of this community. Even those who did not buy the game yet, but are lurking to find it in a fixed state.

Beta patch is alpha patch. What devs really wanted from their customers - enjoy their game by playing it or to become their alphatesters?

TBH I do not know why devs released it. They said multiple times before that they want to release the ready version. Why the shift of decisions it is not up to me to answer this. Maybe as BlackSix put it, they want to widen the testing crowd. My guess is they are unable to tell by themselves if the patch is ready or not. Anyway, if I had time to test it , I would. Out of pure will to help. I don`t see nothing wrong with that.

Now all of you play "IL2: AT" game, where AT means ALPHA TESTING... Enjoy it, if you have nothing better to do...

Well, I took my part in testing RCs back in the IL2 days when it was simple enough. Since Steam entered the scene, I don`t really think it is worth the effort and risking of being banned. Although I can see other ppl are willing to help. There were many requests for releasing the beta patch.

P.S. Don't be angry, because people are fed up with Luthier making them fools once again...

What constructive input can come from people being fed up about it?
