| Faelco said: It's funny to see people defending it by saying "it's progressing, the alpha is playable". After 8 years and more than 200 millions spent in it, having a playable alpha, still in progress, is less than the minimum. Technically not a scam, maybe, but between incompetence and dishonesty, surely. |
Originally alpha meant having most of the code working, but no 3D assets, sound, or animations. A true alpha should look like little more than N64 style rough models running around. Alpha means "Oh, we have 10% of the game done." Beta means the game is complete minus bug testing/fixing. Gold = it's ready to ship.
