No iám not a child and yes you both a right to ask i did ask for a key and no one answer. I need just one key for the xbox one. And about streamers and you tubers who gets a lot of keys to give away in there stream i know it'is to advertise the game but why should they have almost between 8 or 12 or more keys to give away in there stream. I wanted to try this game. But yeah maybe i let my self go because i was triggerd off not being selected. My bad. So if somebody has a beta key for the xbox please send a massage to my gt: DarkERIK VIPER Thank you

The answer to that my friend is: reach. Youtubers hit millions of subscribers for some of the bigger channels, it's all about numbers, and reach. At the end of the day, Ubisoft aren't just a game developer, they're a publisher and a company -- a company that wants to make money. Those keys translate into hits for the YTers, revenue for the YTers in some cases -- but they also translate into more people than just the 3 you can invite with a key.

It is pretty much business, might not seem fair, but every company does it in the game industry. Betas are pot luck for the most part, I've applied for plenty -- never got in. I got into this one though, which is pretty cool and I'm grateful for that chance.

Also it is worth pointing out that the OPEN BETA is likely to be in 2 weeks time (my opinion).

Yep, you're not wrong I don't think. Same happened with For Honor, didn't get in, and on the 9th iirc there's an Open Beta.

Yeah The Division was teh same. I can't recall how long it was between the Alpha & closed beta, but it was only 2 weeks between the closed and open Beta.

Yeah, you're spot on.

But if they doing a open beta in two weeks isn't that to late because in 4 weeks it's the release date for wildlands. I hope they doing a open beta for gr wildlands but how does that work do we sign in for it or is it on the store under demo games? Btw thank you for explaining to me. Sorry for being rude.

There was a closed beta for For Honor recently, now on the 9th there's an open beta. It'll just be like a demo on the store of the console etc. The open betas tend to be more of a demo, less of a stress test in the case of Wildlands because it's a 4 player co-op game multiplayer wise, rather than a big Division style game.

As for being rude, you're excited, I get that Just remember that you're more likely to get a better response with a nicer approach

No problem. I am pretty sure that they have said that they are doing an open Beta. That will serve as more for just hype and advertising but also stress testing the servers for launch. Like I mentioned previously, The division done an open Beta pretty much in the same time frame as we have here. It was only a few weeks to release when they done that. The open Beta will probably just be on the market place of your preferred platform when they do it.

I totally agree with you you signup for this beta ok i was a bit late signing up but somehow they give indeed free codes away and people that signed up get passed

Ubisoft did it again let people sign in for a beta key for closed beta wildlands and then give keys to streamers and you tubers en give them a few more beta keys to give away in there stream. Free advertisement. Never and i say never again i sign my self up for a beta key for any game it's sad that Gameing companies go this way. And the system to give away keys is only to look how many people want a key. Is there after the closed beta a change that there is comeing a open beta so people who didn't get a key can play the beta. Because on ubiclub and ubiplay are skin for the beta to get so we the people didn't get a key aren't get those skins. Is unfair but hey i think that is how it is.
