you first
And for people like you I spend thousands of hours working to get this game as good as possible. [8|]
Nah, you spend 'thousands' of hours doing it because you get a free copy and you get to play a game you enjoy prior to it's release.

Picture says it all. You know nothing of what you speak.
True, but you do enjoy playing before the release. Come on, admit it.

You see me playing or sitting here answering questions in the support forums on my holiday?
Frankly, I could ignore all this crap and play Nik right now with the last version we already have. [8|]
Do we have nothing to do but vent our frustration on someone because they have the game?

Really.
The problem with beta testing is that there are thousands of idiots out there who beta test for just the reason that they want to play the game first and get it now. They do a crappy job of noticing the little things going wrong and don't provide much help to the developers at all. People like that are worse than degree hunters... looking for that extra little badge to lord it over people... I'm a beta tester... woo.
Installing fix after patch after fix and retesting one small detail in a game over and over or any bit of software isn't fun, and hardly allows a lot of playing time. If by the end of the beta a truly good game comes out, the beta tester has a right to be laid back and have a little fun.
If Mr. Frag exaggerates a little on number of hours spent, its probably because he has spent what feels like that much WORKING on the game instead of playing it.

It's amazing that it's common knowledge that most Beta Testers are just trying to get the game early, yet the gaming companies still rely on the same Beta testers for every release. I have submitted a resume of sorts for all sorts of games to become a tester. My background is in deploying network client-server applications for a Fortune 10 company. Strangely enough, I've only been selected once.
By the way, this is no reflection on Matrix as I haven't applied as a tester here.....yet. [;)][;)][;)]

4) And if we have installations problems can you help? Only if you purchase a support contract.

Well, you know, nothing in life is free. [;)]
If you are serious, you should be able to hook up with a technical sales rep who can move things through the system a little better then someone who just downloads the free sample off the web site.
