Pay to play Beta

Like a lot of people I went to check out the pre-order costs and bonuses and I was honestly and seriously depressed by it. Though the one thing that stood out was "Beta access" Why would you ever think that was a good idea? You aren't offering extended beta play which would be fine, you are literally charging people to bug test for you. Yes, I know there may be some companies out there that do that, but you shouldn't. I know oft times companies have closed betas, you really shouldn't. Betas are a good chance to test for bugs and test server load handling (remember the failure you had with RoI) I had intended to use the beta as a yard stick for pre-ordering, but now you have taken that chance away. Oh yes, I could watch some YouTube clips and your gameplay reveal trailers, but to me that's like a virgin watching a a few porn videos and thinking that tells them what sex is like before they order a hooker. Either way your both f***ed. Also, those people who fork out for the season pass one should get something a bit better than a what you're offering. You're scraping the bottle of the prize barrel there. Tl:Dr, don't make us pay to play your beta

    Beta access is only a week earlier if you buy/preorder. Don't worry, we will all get to sample it before making a decision on whether or not to buy.

    EARLY access. Reading comprehension is a lost art, apparently.

  • You're an idiot it clearly says 'early' access you can still play it if you don't pre order just later on

    • The preorder gives you early beta access, the beta will be open beta available for everyone. Read more, complain less.

      • You are wrong. If you were listening properly to the trailers and were reading the leaked posters properly you would see that you get EARLY ACCESS to the Beta.

      • Pre order, play the beta, if you don't like it, cancel your order. Not that hard to figure out.

      • Preorder with amazon doesn't cost anything. You can cancel preorder after the early beta.

      • You do realize you can cancel your preorder if you don't like the Beta, right?? You can literally go spend $5 at GameStop to preorder....get a Beta code....then cancel your preorder and get your money back.

        Read before you whine. https://www.destinythegame.com/beta "Pre-order Destiny 2 and you will have EARLY ACCESS to our upcoming Beta prior to it becoming available to non-pre-ordering customers. Visit destinythegame.com/wheretobuy to pre-order."

        • I won't be rude like these other twats. Just know that it's early access to the beta, and there will be a free one :). Side note; If you preorder on Amazon, you get the code and they don't take your money until the day before release, so you can have a few extra days of play time in the beta if you want.

          You're so clueless. If you actually took the time to read, the pre-order will grant you [i][b]early access[/b][/i] to the beta. If you're not pre-ordering, you can just wait until the open beta. All that whining for nothing. All you did was make a fool of yourself.
