starbugg 39 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 2 minutes ago, Icy said: If SI stuff is working non stop all night to have it released ASAP then I understand not saying anything, but if they are following standard office hours and already at home, we should be told that there is zero chance it will be released out of office hours and for sure not at night. One thing is to keep us waiting and having hope and fun where there is a chance and another to keep us waiting with zero chances. There are a lot of SI staff logged into the forums, I don't know if that's normal for this time of night but it shows that they are not keeping to office hours Link to post Share on other sites

Icy 356 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 hace 2 minutos, rosque dijo: hope this is sarcastic reply Why should it? I understand that SI doesn’t know when they will release the beta as it will be when it’s ready, and if they are in the final stressing sprint (I’m the CEO a big tech company, I know what I’m talking about) it can be any time but if they are already at home enjoying their deserved rest, that I respect, and there is zero chance of it being released tonight, I think they should say it as they did yesterday. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

-Jef- 273 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Just now, Zemahh said: Let's be honest, surely they know at least a few hours in advance... I highly doubt they just decide these things on minute by minute basis like some indie company. Beta probably isn't even the very final version of the game they have, I'm pretty sure we only get that after the first patch. Not true. SI have a big room that is pitch black and in the center there is a podium with a big red button that says "BEE-TUH". Every year, Miles opens a bottle of champagne or three and when he gets plastered enough he presses the button. And wakes up next morning wondering wtf is happening in the office. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Completely understandable. Would you post with same insistence, e.g. on Apple's forum asking them the iOS14 beta release?

JD nawrat 2,525 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 How about instead of waiting to be told it won't be tonight, y'all just assume it won't be tonight and wait until you are informed otherwise. There's a horrible stench of entitlement streaming from this thread and the harassment of SI staff is beyond unacceptable. And cringe-worthy at this point. The beta will be here when it's here, relax and wait until the SI team announce the beta is live. And please stop harassing them for an answer. If they spend their time replying to the same question every time you impatient lot ask it, they'd never have time to actually release the game, nevermind beta...
