Valve I launched the EARLY Access service in Steam, which allows users to play prepaid games long before their release. Now in the section, near a dozen projects have already been crowded (among which Arma 3, Starforge, Kinetic VOID and others), over time, the list will be replenished.
According to the idea Valve, This innovation should display a dialogue between developers and users to a new level. Representatives of the Steam community will be able to try projects that are under development, evaluate them, leave their reviews, as well as share impressions with each other. Developers, in turn, will try to listen to the opinion of people, which will allow them to quickly correct mistakes and make changes to their products.

Well, then you will be given a full version. So this is like a regular pre -order of the game, with the ability to play Alpha and Beta while waiting for the full version ..
Not only beta, but also alpha with tesers. And if you are inclined to the fact that this is another way to pump money, then you are mistaken. Large projects are tested there, and not all sorts of freefriends.
Yes, you are tight. You think someone would buy a simple alpha version of Army Third for a thousand rubles, which is full of bugs? Naturally, no. This new service simply helps to get early access to the game, but you must help developers find mistakes in the game.

Oh my god, what a lot of money? This is a typical early access with pre -order. And if someone pre-orders the game only for the sake of early access-their problems.
This remains at the discretion of everyone.
This is not a free closed beta, where they are trying to get testers, and for the most part they get those who just came to see. T.e. Testers in those cases seem to be helped, but are not obliged – and this remains only on their conscience.
But in this case, it is quite a kind of agreement, where all the player’s obligations are only that he had already paid money for a raw product. In the future, obligations remain only on the part of the developer. The player can help in the testing process. The player can express his opinions/wishes (if many players speak out in the same way-this is something yes). But he should not.
In fact, this is a pre -order with the possibility (no duty) to look at the early builds and, due to its capabilities, help in development or influence it.
Brilliant move (without a hint of irony). Already not to count how many sentences to “create a dream game” existed among various generations of gamers. Ideas, of course, were childishly naive and further calls came in rarely. But open access to the alpha game, as for me, is a very good implementation of these fantasies. Take the same Don ‘Starve, officially not yet released, but in which many had already played out. You see what is added there now with patches that are stably leaving twice a month, you will not remember that, quite a meager, initial set. With whom, nevertheless, they played – and played with rapture. But much of all the content was offered by users themselves. The developers are important for the feedback, indicating the next step in the project, customers – so that it is not painfully painful for aimlessly given money. It is all the more surprising to me to read/hear the opinions of individual gentlemen who expose the thirst for profit and savings of developers on tesers. So, I will invent a small bicycle. Not “like a sucker for free for my uncle worked”, but I tried for myself, for future players. At least I hope this. Well, who is not used to contacts with the developer, but just wants to play humanly-wait for the release, the inscription “The game is in the development stage” is as honest as possible and is intended for you. In order to avoid mutual insults.
