Hi Che, Well, in the case of Betas there are some that are free and some that are commercial. Montezuma's Return is definitely commercial, and to play the full Beta someone needs an end user license. SoundRTS on the other hand is totally free so there are no end user restrictions on playing the whole game. Though, you definitely have a good point that the free games and commercial games should be split up. Free games tend to have more end users than commercial games. As for list feedback and comments that is typical for the list. It has just been my personal experience people here like to do things anonymously rather than speak up and be a more active member such as giving feedback and chat. I've trolled through the membership lists before and I have seen people in there who have never once asked one question or sent one responce to the list. All I can guess is they are the quiet type who just want to read, but not reply or be more active in decision making.
