SE doesn't have eyes everywhere on the internet. Probably they don't know if no one reported it.

Mind you, he does tell something that makes sense, between all the blabbering:

I know how important and regal it is to be one of the only people allowed to test a game before it comes out. The feeling can sometimes be intoxicating and addictive. This leads you to become extremely possessive over the game, and any action that will remove even a tiny bit of that feeling away would cause you to go into an almost offensive mouth foaming rage, metaphorically speaking of course.

---

That's exactly why people that got into the alpha test are so eager to be confrontational, smug and insulting towards those that dare to be disappointed because they didn't, to the point of calling them whiners, crybabies and worse.

It's truly a despicable attitude, but this very forum shows the evidence that this community is far from free from it.

Normally anyone with any journalistic integrity would not post it to begin with. Most sites I know do honor NDAs even if they didn't sign them personally, but journalistic integrity tends to be a tad thin in this industry, even more so between bloggers.

Integrity aside, posting "leaks" or NDA covered material almost always comes back to bite you in the rear. Even if you don't receive immediate consequences, getting a reputation for having a big mouth and no respect for the rules of common courtesy with developers is a bad thing and normally influences your credibility negatively. It takes more time on the internet for the effects to show, but more often than not, ultimately they do.

its funny I heard from a friend everyone in Alpha has played since the first alpha/beta and were loyal players who most bought CE and are legacy members which make up a majority of the invites >.> and by your logic I don't need proof do I? just going with the word of my friend because you know I don't hear S-E denying that they didn't give loyal members alpha!~

Completely random quote aside... your comparison is completely off mark.

Your friend telling you that everyone he met in the alpha has played since the first alpha and so forth is enough to say that only for the ones he met, which is a negligible percentage of the total and has no statistical value. It's not enough to say that ALL or the MAJORITY of the alpha testers fit those criteria, because he didn't ask them all, nor the majority, nor a relevant percentage.

Multiple people telling that they received an invitation despite having an inactive account is enough to say that it happened to those people. No one is saying that ALL or a MAJORITY of the people with inactive accounts received an invitation. All we're saying is that it happened, no one is saying to how many.

Witnesses can prove that something happened to individuals or limited groups, or in a limited environment, but you can't prove a statistic without a comprehensive and fairly large statistical pool.

Since here no one is trying to pull statistics on what numbers or percentage of players with an inactive accounts got invited, good job for comparing apples to oranges and adding something completely irrelevant to the discussion.

You did forget to put a personal attack in your previous post. Glad to see that you remembered and came back to add it.

Thank you very much for proving a previous point of mine. I'm always delighted to see others do my job for me.

Anyway, time for work.

Dear Santa,
