Fringe Benefits

[Slimy Gizka]

Do you Beta Testers get fringe benefits like a free game or something?

Other than the joy of testing, obviously.

The phase 2 testers get a free copy. The rest of us beta testers just get the thrill of playing darwinia before the rest of you

[FrostShard]

Ah, but we get to look forward to the game for longer.

[Starfyre]

And you get to play it without all the nasty crashes and glitches!

[edd8990]

Actually, I didnt find single crash or glitch in the Beta, apart from a graphics glitch that I descovered was down to an incorrect driver install in linux. But on the downside, Im stuck wanting the full game so much more than if I hadnt tested it

Roll on March 4th.

Welllll... We got to play the DEMO version before it was out.

Beta Testers get no such luxuries.

[prophile]

The NDA applies to phase 2 testers.

I was not even in the first beta.

[Hektik sniper]
