I'm gonna assume you mean public alphas/beta, since all games have alphas and betas.

It's probably not a good idea to do too many public alphas, as they usually are nowhere near the level of polish that the Destiny alpha apparently was, and a lot of people who aren't properly informed (that's most of the general public) would probably be put off by playing an alpha.

There should definitely be more public betas, but what's most important is that these betas are done at an appropriate point in development where the devs actually have enough time to take all the feedback into account and make changes accordingly. What we don't need are these demos pretending to be betas like what EA has been doing with Battlefield the last couple years, releasing the "beta" 2 weeks before the game ships
