<p><strong><em>What is a Beta?</em></strong></p>
<blockquote dir="ltr">
<p>A beta is a pre-release test of a game. This is when the Developer needs your help to squish any game bugs. This is pre-demo as well. So it is in fact the rawest form of the game.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote dir="ltr">
<p>Keep your expectations in check. It is by no means meant to exemplify what you can expect in the actual game. You are being called upon to do a job, to intentionally break the game so they can ensure the final product is the best it can be!</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote dir="ltr">
<p>This is also why we encourage you to comply with the requests of the Developer. They need you to help them test, not just demo the game and judge. It's time to help your fellow gamers and give it your all!</p>

<p><strong><em>I am subscribed, does this mean I am automatically in all betas?</em></strong> </p>
<blockquote dir="ltr">
<p>All betas have a sign up/ Being subscribed does not sign you up. Some need qualifying in other ways such as hardware. So first you must sign up on the specific beta's sign up page. Subscribers get first chance at the beta. Also most betas have a limited number of slots or keys. These are first come first serve regardless of subscriber status.</p>
