The process of delivering a beta version to the users is called beta release. Beta level software generally includes all features, but may also include known issues and bugs of a less serious variety." From wikipedia. And who said that home was a game? It's not a game just an online service. nothing less, nothing more. |
lol for trying to prove someone wrong using the wiki. That couldn't be more wrong.

I just don't get why people are so quick to defend Home. They keep telling me it's free and it's an open beta like that means something except the thing has been in development for nearly four years when most games get made in 2-3 and in its current state I don't see how anyone would pay for it (and that last part isn't even my words, they're Tycho's.
The people who continue to sit there and yell OMG IT'S A BETA are the same people that have been patiently waiting since 2007 for Home to revolutionize the gaming world. They keep expecting it to be this brand new community experience that will change the way we play and interact with games and it just isn't.
I'm sorry if my stating these things is offensive to you, but Home is a lifeless world that just isn't good. It has a few things that can entertain most people for a few minutes but that isn't much to be proud of.
But whatever, I'll shutup about Home for a while so more people don't get angry that their precious Home is being spat on.
-edit-
Did forget to mention-- I realize that it's completely optional or else I would be incredibly pissed about it. I'm rumbling about it now but I'll lose interest in a day or so. If I had to go through Home always, I'd never stop grumbling about it.
-edit #2-
One more edit and I'll leave for a good while, I swear.
I also only comment on Home because I wasted some time on it and I can. Before it was released, I suspected that it just wouldn't be good but people would always come back with (including you I think Leo) I'm in the open beta, you have no idea what you're talking about. Just wait, Home is awesome.
Well now I've experienced and now I'm going to talk about it.
