    I would only beta test for games that I don't look forward to playing, and only if I was paid for it. Playing unfinished and buggy chunks of material is not fun, imo.

    I was going to donate to DOS but the devs are just way too dorky... Can't contribute to that. :kingcomrade:

    Have Alpha and beta access to Grim Dawn, not sure if that's considered one of the KS RPGs...

    For a story-based game I don't want to play the beta. Just give me the finished product when it's done with no spoilers.

    I will be getting alpha access to at least one big Kickstarter RPG in the next several weeks, for the purposes of providing feedback to the developers. Beyond that I also will most likely get early press access to several other games. I can't even remember if I got beta access as part of any Kickstarter packages but I'm pretty sure there were a few (possibly Torment and Project Eternity).

    Why would we even need a forum for a specific game? Fuck this splitting business, take your aspie sorting tendencies to SA.

    So you prefer posting in a Wasteland 2 megathread full of spoilers once the game is released? 'k.

    No, I would prefer various separate threads in Classic cRPG Discussion. Why would a megathread be the only alternative to a separate forum?

    I did not spend that much money for the beta itself... But the beta / alpha is a nice bonus :)

    That's possible, but I suspect giving it its own forum would make people feel more free to start up lots of threads than if they were sharing a forum with every other CRPG in existence. It would help foster more discussion about the game, which is supposed to be Kind Of A Big Deal for us, as I said.

    Anyway, it's not my decision, so we'll see what happens.

    I just dislike the forum fragmentation, especially since eventually the game specific forums will become dead and be merged with general anyway.

    Simple solution:

    [SPOILERS] Project Eternity Alpha/Beta Discussion Thread
    [SPOILERS] Torment: Tides of Numenera Alpha/Beta Discussion Thread

    ...and so on, non-stickied in Classic cRPG Discussion. Police them to keep out non-testers spouting nonsense and/or eject egregious controversial arguments transplanted from the primary threads.

    You like megathreads, Blaine?

    Anyway, it turns out the beta is NDA'd, so we can't make it a public thread anyway.

    I have to agree here, I would like to see how are they planning on enforcing the NDA with so many people. Although it does preclude us from having an official thread. Maybe a hidden one?

    Oh hey, turns out I'm one of the 11,000+ with access to the Wasteland 2 beta. You gonna stop me from spilling the beans, Fargo? Good luck figuring out who I am.

    They're doing NDAs? Damn, that's cute.

    Why does the Codex honor NDAs? Celebrity developers almost never post here anyway, no doubt because the ratio of sycophantic peter-puffers isn't high enough for their liking.

    Just pointing that out. It's not my place to decide what people can or can't post around here.
