Early Game release

Hi every one.

Ever see games that allow you to play the alfa or early beta version of the game?  Thus I do not mind so much. however there are ways to go about doing this. Don't get me wrong I love to see a preview of the game before it comes out. I do hope the game makers out there read this as it can be informative for them as well.

Our first endeavor is DayZ SA. This gane came out as an early BETA around 2014. Two years later its still considered BETA. in my opinion and only my opinion this should not be, surely they have had plenty of time to release the full final version of the game by now.  Dayz SA is only one of the many games out there still in ALFA or BETA.

Hey gamer's and dev's!  Doing this and not releasing the game soon after makes the game loose its hype. the Alpha release of any game should only goto the (IN HOUSE) testers, with leaking footage of the game. Doing this presents many opportunities to gain momentum for the games release.

Now for what should be done.  If you must release an early BETA of the game, Release it, Get user feedback and bug reports, then release the game a few months later, not years, but the time you release the full version. I'm off playing a cooler game and you lost full money value of the game you could have gotten $50 for instead of $29 or $19. you had the.
 In any case you should never have waited years for release the game after its beta or alfa release.

Now I realize releasing a game in Beta allows you to get marketing material from actual users. but waiting so long most every one has gone off to play another game.

If you want some ones opinion, make games that are playable on computers that cant sing and dance. and one does not have to have a monster PC just to view the loading screen. Games that look just as good on a GTX 980 playable on any graphics or at least the newer cheaper cards.

In closing, games shouldnt be out in beta promising to be released soon and usually never are fully released with out the alfa/beta tag. I believe your wanting to come out with a 100% bug free game before you release it. well its not going to happen. games always have bugs if it's visible or not, thats what patches are for.
