Do You Even Beta?

Powerleveled:

I had the privilege to be a part of more than a few Alpha/Beta tests over the last few years and I’ve realized we as a people have an issue with how we view Beta programs.

I've been in a few betas or alphas and I always feel like the devs never listen to your input and just look at their data. Sometimes its because the beta was never meant to change the game since it was already a completed project, they just want to stress test. But they almost never tell you that.

I pretty much play it like a demo, because different companies ship different levels of game and call it "beta". Some of these titles are missing components entirely, yet call it a beta, when that's an Alpha.

I thought the new beta was pre-alpha. I'm so confused.

How do I start beta testing?
I wanted to try Evolve before getting it! I like the fact that its something different! Besides that I want to start beta testing period!
