Beta testing is all the rage these days--several new AAA titles and one
highly anticipated expansion rolled out the first of their exclusive
invites recently and most everyone wants in--but it beta testing all
its cracked up to be? When the test servers go down and the content
goes live, will we be any better off for our hours invested? Jason
“Medawky” Bolton doesn’t think beta testing is all its cracked up to
be, and has the perfect solution for the beta test blues. Join us this

toll that beta testing can take on a player, that once the game goes
live you go back to square one and get to do it all again, I wish I had
invested that time in another game instead. If time has taught me
anything, it’s that you only have so many “Oh wow!” moments in your
gaming lifetime, and they are inversely proportional to the number of
games you play.
