Beta invites make no sense

Hi. I registered a few months ago in hope of trying this game out to see if i would buy it. I got invited to the PC stress test and the advance beta 2 PC. I had no use for these at all as i am on ps3. I am still to receive an invite for beta 3 PS3.
I assume there would of been a few questions in my signup asking about platforms, so i am confused as to why i got invited to 2 things i couldnt use, but not invited to the one thing i can use (and have been waiting for like an excited little child).

Can anyone shed any light on this? Have you been treated similarly? Do any mods have any advice for me?

Cheers

Well there have only been PC Betas until Yesterday, so that's why you were invited to the PC ones. Not sure why you didn't get a PS3 invite if you pre ordered though

Havent pre-ordered. I was going to use the beta to see if i would buy it. Looks like i wont be buying then, unless i can find a free code, which is looking harder and harder since i boycott facebook...

EDIT: Sorted!! I guess the "follow us on facebook" thing is a scam, i got my code without it. Bless em for trying though.

inb4 you're not entitled to a beta invite, because you didnt pre-order.

QQ, nobody cares, kthxbye

As if im going to preorder a game thats already getting destroyed by the critics? They should hook up the people that have been interested if they wanna make any money at all. Inb4? You must be a kid...

Your not entitled to a beta. You dont wanna buy the game, then dont. No one is forcing you to buy it. And there are TONS of games that come without a beta or demo at all! Take Dark Souls for example. Great game, but it didnt have a demo, or an open beta. People still bought it. They dont have to give you a game demo or beta invite for your approval. You have to prove loyalty buy at least putting 5 bucks towards the game in a store to get access. And if you dont like it, cancel the preorder...not hard to do. And its technically free.

INb4 is pretty common "forum speak", you must be new here.

As long as we're making rash assumptions based on forum posts, you must be a spoiled/entitled person, that thinks random people on the internet care whether they play a game or not. Wasting space with a thread crying that you aren't being catered to is juvenile.

I haven't seen any negative reviews, certainly none to suggest it's being destroyed, but I don't see why you'd care about trying it out at this point. There may be a demo further down the line. A beta is not a demo.

And Dark Souls got smashed pretty badly by everyone on PC as almost unplayable! Took a lot of modding to fix it up, but seems to work much better as a result.

Bad controls are a result of not having proper beta testing. Not saying that darksouls is better off without an open beta, in fact I'm saying the opposite. MOST games would be better off with an open beta to test alot of kinks out. But most games do closed betas and stress tests at most. Defiance is one of them. They dont just hand out codes to everyone, this isnt OB nor is it a server stress test.

If OP wants a key, go put 5 bucks on the game, and get a code for the beta. if he likes it, buy it. If he doesnt, get your money back and put it on this years CoD franchise. Or madden.
