Why does luthier even bother?

[ElAurens]

Beta testing is messy, often frustrating, almost always tedious work that often leads to me just shutting the computer down (if the game test in question didn't do it for me...) and taking a break.

Sure it has it's rewarding moments, like seeing stuff before the general community if it's a closed beta, or knowing that you helped in some small way to make the title in question better for everyone. However, mostly its boring, repetitive work with lots of note taking and usually done alone.

In essence it's not fun, and it's not for everyone.

So rather than come in here and make wind up posts about the state of how the game was released, or how the BETA crashed your system, why not just go back to the standard release version, fly the sim as it is and wait for those who can handle beta testing to do their work so you can play.

That alone would go a long way towards making things better for us all, and create a more civil environment on this now going down in flames forum.
