Watch out, rabid fans!
In response to some pretty strong comments on his article about Funcom's open preview beta on Fileplanet yesterday, MMORPG Editor Jon Wood has written a response in his blog to try and quell the conspiracy theorists.
I may be in the minority, but I just wasn’t surprised by the initial decision from the company to go through Fileplanet for a beta. It’s not the first time a company has chosen this route for open beta distribution. Heck, I remember back when I was working on Wish, we distributed our client through good ‘ol FP and that was back in 2005. I remember someone telling me back then that this would become the standard for MMO beta distribution and I still can‘t disagree.
