Alpha access ... A good idea?

Recommended Posts

I'm happy with this mod of ARMA 2. I never played Arma before yesturday ...but when I saw the Day Z game ... I was so IN that i bought it. Now, that said, is it a good idea to let people have access to an alpha game? I really asking myself that question because of all the troubles hackers caused. I read alot in the forum about the hackers ...and I was wondering.

Another thing ...did video games compagnies paid some people to test the games before selling a game? I'm curious about how the video game industries work .... Letting an alpha or a beta to be tested by the public does it "steal" some job for some people? Is it a way to test a game for saving money? I'm not cynic while I'm asking this question...I'm really curious...since I'm not a specialist in the viddogaming industry.

P.S. Sorry for my english...I speak essentialy french :-)

yeah they test extensively, and betas are often used for testing of sorts too (much larger numbers are possible with them than with your internal testing team).
