Only streamers get to join the playtest :)))

Thoughts? Surely this is controversial to someone other than me

There is no malice from any streamer towards any gamer getting this privilege but if you are the type to not want to see content before you experience it yourself then respect to that too.

The good it does is show off worthwhile gameplay and a game worth getting or giving a chance.
Another good is sparing you a purchase you won't enjoy or being annoyed by a game that falls short and you found out you hate and can't stand what it is.
Early streamers faced so much propaganda from developers trying to FORCE buys with promise that was nothing but a lie to make as much money as possible off terrible work.
Some of that still carries over but for the most part these guys the honest ones are out to help players and legitimate devs.

Yeah i was looking into this test, sucks. Alas...

[SahiPie]

If it was a good game then they wouldn't need to play test anything through YouTube F boys.

Set a release date knowing your confident in your product.

Game was meant to come out Q1.
A month ago there was a twitter post saying the game wasn't ready.
Now they have a playtest available only for handpicked select few.
Latest twitter post claims no official release date.

Feels like the hype was dieing and now they need some free marketing to drum up the hype again, meanwhile the product can be no more than "not ready".

Paid access betas in unknown titles are never a good thing as we know, zero stress testing for day 1 leading to hours of frustration and inability to play, convenient isn't it for time limited refund policies.

biggest mistake was giving it to only streamers.....aka the meta timmys
you wanna test your game give it to actual gamers......not sheeple reaction andys

Every time the streamers get a game first and not the community as a whole the game ends up running like crap and being nothing like what you think it will be after purchasing.

[RoadDog]

well, i just check one round nezar on yt and thats it. i will test the game for free if i can, maybe i buy it if its good, maybe i just refund it after first round. but will not watch a streamer play all the time.

[Unibot]

Kinda lame. I understand streamers are good for advertising, but not a fan of the practice in general.

[SteinDrSolido]

No Free for all = not good Game , i buy only when i can test , videos looks not really good for me , nothing new in gameplay , and very small map

[Tactical_Zombeh]

I'm perfectly fine with it. Watching a streamer is like watching a game review but in real time. I watch a streamer I trust, see how the game plays and figure out if I want to wishlist it or not. No rush to play the game, I've got lots of games on my list.

[Nosecandy]

probably the number one way to not get the sales you hope! just give it to everyone or no one! cant believe that there is an upper, middle and lower class in gaming.. not just this company does it either!

if this would be true. everbody would lose interest in this game. i thought the same way for a timel. but they would literaly kill their own game if they would just give access to streamer or content creators.

Typical C grade DEV using FOMO to get people peak their anticipation on playing.

[S+SUPERDOODS]

well i wont be playin this game. Im tired of companys thinking streamers are the only market. Us normal people dont matter. i requested access before the streamers knew about this game and i didnt get it. Not playing a game that favors 12% of its player base cause they are streamers. it really shows just how much this company cares about the majority of its players. who are not streamers we dont matter our opinions dont matter if they did streamers wouldnt be the only ones with access MADFINGER just fumbles the bag big time everyone in my discord isnt playing it now and that about 400 people. STOP CATERING TO STREAMERS they are not where you make the most money its Normal People who do. like i said streamers only make up 12% of the gaming industry so think about that MADFINGER. And i was excited for this game but its just another tarkov money grab. Streamers only one with access thats just dumb it makes no sense i thought yall wanted the bag. I guess not\
