Devast

It's in my opinion that a stress test is a stress test, a release candidate is a release candidate, a beta is a beta, an alpha is an alpha and that the terminology shouldn't be excused if used incorrectly; Especially by big companies.

The problem is that companies are using the term 'beta' as a way to hype something and now people are being trained to think that betas are previews. Rather than being something [beta] someone would actively participate in, knowing full well that the game isn't complete and they are bound to find problems , nowadays the word "beta" is being treated as demo. This is wrong! A beta tester is person willing to test a game to find it's faults.
