Layman's terms

When is the last time a sandwich maker handed you that pile of bread and meat and said "here please take a bite and give me feedback"... cause THAT is what alpha is. The devs ask for feedback and people should give it to them.

This is analogous of free trials. She is handing you a sample of a finished product. She is not the producer of said product asking for feedback on a product in development. Sorry the analogies are way off.

Edit: Companies do focus groups all the time to test peoples reaction to their unfinished products. This is the best analogy I can come up with. And I am sure there is some negative feedback from time to time in those too...

I take it you havent been to a decent deli then. I have a few in my town that i can walk in to and ask then for a taste of something before i buy it. The man generously takes a small slice of it for me and allows me to taste test it. You, sir, are just a big poopy pants that has no concept of humor.

completely agree with the bolded portion, but your delicatessen is letting you sample a finished product for free... free trial

I just thought about this, isn't bread and processed meat a finished product? It's just not a sandwich. I know we already settled it but this occurred to me last night and i wanted to put that out there.
