Before diving into the beta of a game, here are a couple of ways that can help us to determine whether we are signing up for a technical test or a PR stunt.
from paulsemel.com: In this exclusive Q&A, the author of the new technothriller based on "Tom Clancy's: The Division" discusses how it ties to the games while also bringing its own story to a close.
If you're looking to try out an exciting, team-based shoot 'em up, The Division is currently on sale on Steam!
The month of October is going to be filled with excitement as the Hitman franchise is commemorating its 25 years of being in the business.
It’s the 25th anniversary this year?
I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.
Super lacklustre
Seems like Beta tests are just the Demo of the game
"Another glaring sign of a PR stunt masquerading as a beta test is when the game’s publishers are banking on promises to attract you to sign up. While few publishers would outright lie, you need to be on the lookout against ones that spend too much time and effort hyping up non-existent features."
This is early access in a nutshell.
