What im going to say is the right side and isn't an opinion but a measurable fact.
There is only one side. The side of gratitude.
If its 1 day or 1 month, the fact that Trion has opened up their game for us to play before April 2nd is a blessing and a gift. Not an entitlement, not a right, and not something they owe us because we preordered.
Think back to video games before the web, before the networks, before the digital streams and downloads. If you wanted to play the game you read about it. You talked to your friends. If you were hesitant on buying you waited. You didn't spend your money. You went to your friends house and watched them and maybe even kicked them off their parents computer to play for a bit yourself.
If you make the decision to spend your money on something you are not sure you'll like, or better yet, spend your money on something you dont understand. That is not the game developers problem. They are thankful for your contribution and as reward they are granting access to their game.
The only response any of us should be giving is gratitude. Trion could say NO beta at all. Going back to the good ol'days of how things were when a LOT of us were waiting outside for Mario Brothers 3 and that damn Raccoon Tail Mario taunting us.
Be thankful for what you have and what we are being given. Dont show jealousy or envy for one console who gets 6 days and you who get 1 day. Why does it even matter? We all get to play April 2nd. We all start the same. Nothing is lost.
So to step off my soap box i'll leave it with my final words about all these threads sparking flames. Exposing some of humanities most grotesque and disgusting traits.
Jealousy, Envy, Anger, Pretentiousness, - All of these.... wont get you a good woman/man and wont get you laid. jk jk (joking aside)
All of these, are things you should look in on yourself and ask yourself. Is it that hard to just be grateful for what we have? Also, can I appreciate those who have worked so hard for us to have it?
The answer should be yes, we can.
Thank you Trion for all that you have given us and more. We look forward to your beta and ultimately your release on April 2nd.
