Valve Mobile Beta

[jspiegz]

Come on. It's a FREE iOS/Android app. Why not let everyone test it. And why put it in the stores. A tease?

Come on.

And why put it in the stores. A tease?

Come on.

How would you run a beta test on iOS (and Android) with thousands of participants?

It's actually a good idea of valve for an "invite" only test. You never know when thousands of people use the app right away which may cause a lot of problems. They are building up the stress test which I find the right thing to do.

Let them work their way up. This is a new venture for Valve, and things can get weird at larger scales.

They said they would continue releasing invities the next day and next week, so just hold on.

... So?
Signing up to a Beta doesn't gaurantee your participation in said beta.
Besides, most of the time when people join a game beta they are just wanting to play rather than bug testing. This seems especially so with Dota 2...

Also it's a BETA thus they are free to allow or restrict users as they see fit.
