    Except most people understand that the jump in quality from Alpha to Beta is significantly larger than the jump in quality between Beta and release.

    Most of what should be complained about, should be complained about in Beta where A) The build of the game is nearest to completion and B) It's the test that actually calls for such complaints.

    Complaining about certain things in Alpha is like complaining your cookie isn't fully baked when you took it out of the oven halfway through it's bake time. i.e. Stupid.

    Yeeeaaaaah, baking a cookie is just like making a game.

    We should just expect that the game will be great when it comes out the oven, yup, just like putting cookie dough in an oven, that easy.

    If that's the case then there is no point offering any feedback at all, alpha, beta, or otherwise.

    Your reading comprehension is exceedingly weak.

    I was comparing the fact that complaining in the Alpha is like complaining about an unbaked cookie halfway through it's bake time. Nowhere did I say that making the game is like making the cookie.

    Please try again.

    Has more to do with your horrible analogy making ability.

    A cookie in an oven is composed of already decided ingredients that can't be changed.

    A game in alpha is not.

    Following your analogy, no feedback should be given at all because the cookie can't be changed aside from how long it stays in the oven. It just comes out of the oven (launches).
