The Devs have already said in a interview that the game is out and no longer beta. All you have to do is look at the blow back from the Merc Corps having to pay to play with friends blow up.

Your statements have already been judged on their "merit." You just don't like the judgement.

My original post has 23 likes. Actually, I'm pretty happy with the judgement.

Genuine reviewers won't crticize a "beta." Whilst paid for promo's, ala kotaku, have no scrupples hyping an "Open Beta"

Well, there is that also. Battle Pirates has been in "Beta" for over two years and I don't think it will ever come out. It's been touted as a F2P but you can not realistically play the game without sinking GOBS of money into it.

We're not there yet.

1. Open beta does indeed mean anyone, dota 2's in a "closed beta/buy into" and has a large base of players, valve still hasn't taken it out of beta.

2. Games in beta that sold stuff, Dota2, Path of Exile, D&D Neverwinter, every kickstarter ever. Doesn't mean it's not in beta.

3. Bug fixes never happen you say, never new stuff? Now we all know you are being ignorantly blind.

you can say it's not beta all you want, but it won't make it so. You don't get to say when things are done or not no more then I have the right to say that the dinner I make is done when I just put it in the oven.

I take great comfort in the fact that, even in the year 2013, there are still people who type in all caps.

Thank you for the nostalgia. I am picturing you typing on a greenscreen monitor and using the Ctrl key for line breaks.

I think we're at about 600 +/-

My prediction was 1,207... so we're right on track for October.

Your God won't save you now. Especially since you misspelled His name. Prepare to be smited, I guess.

And, because I didn't actually say that, I know you didn't read my post. Ironic, coming from the guy making the ''ignorantly blind'' claim.

kid, get over your self. im sure Fergie has more likes on facebook, and that doesn't make her remotely talented, much less topical this year. when i have seen some 40 odd threads about the deffinition of BETA as it relates to MWO you are bound to get likes from the other 39 guys who made the same fruitless thread. Come up with valid, or at lest new arguments and feedback that can actually bring about change and you will earn my Like, seeing as that is what brings about your validation.

Yes it is. Beta is not defined by whether it is making money or not, nor is it defined by whether it's closed access or not. It is defined by the relative state of completion of the game - and it is quite obvious that MechWarrior Online is not finished.
