Alphas - Lessons to be learned
The Heartlands Alpha gameplay and developer video has been leaked online - reported by reputable gaming media outlets (Eurogamer).
Now Ubisoft/Massive/RedStorm are in damage limitation mode and it boggles my mind why you give alpha access to random people who have nothing to loose by leaking or showing gameplay. I know people with 2 hours gameplay and were gifted TD2 who were invited.
What is your process for inviting people for Alphas?
Do you think if you set a criteria for Alpha Access that those selected would most likely respect the NDA and give you the desired feedback?
- ETF Members
- Players with high total playtime in TD2
- Players with max commendation score in TD2
- Community members who actively engage with you
-etc
Are more likely to obey the NDA and give you great feedback.
Makes the tin foil hat in me wonder if this is just done as publicity :rolleyes:
