No posts - they have signed an NDA and cannot talk about the game until Markus gives them the go ahead.

A truism of most games. I've seen more than a few beta testers in various games open their mouths and very quickly get reduced to ex-beta testers. They aren't going to say a word.

I'm wondering how they're feeling about being the only people to get to play the game before the All-Star break.

If they're doing their jobs then they aren't "playing" it. Creating test league after test league and trying to get the stars to align right to locate, log, or verify a bug isn't a whole lot of fun. Trying to decipher a bunch of data, figure out what the game is attempting to do, and then trying to locate where it's screwing up isn't a whole lot of fun.

The beta testers won't sit down and enjoy playing the game until a month or so after you sit down and do so.

Wow there are some in every crowd aren't there ... so Markus says sometime in May and since it's May 3rd and the game hasn't been released yet the whiners are saying it won't be out until July 15th .... I don't know why any game developer even announces a game until the day before it's release.

You didn't get the joke. And, since you take unprovoked potshots at people, it's obvious that you need to fix your attitude.

Actually, I was kind of thinking it would come out on the 20th.

I am actually curious where he said sometime in May. I haven't been able to visit the boards as much as I used to so I probably missed it somewhere. Don't get me wrong....I don't doubt you. Just curious where he said that...

(I know it was already said, and well said, but I wanted to reinforce it.)
