i'd set that up now, smile, then people who pre-ordered the game could
tr all betas and everyone else would have to wait until full release
that way you are making more money

Hi Trouble, that's true of course, but some people in our comunity
have wicked tempers. Even worse I've spoken to my fair share of
people that hav a "you owe me" attitude, and it drives me crazy.
That said, I've thought about setting up something like an msdn
subscription style service. If you can afford it Microsoft has a
subscription for msdn that allows you to download betas for MS
Office, Windows, etc and you can upgrade to the full product for a
discount when it comes out. It is expensive, but it is a way of
getting legal copies of their software as they become available,
and for a discount when they come out.
If I set up a similar service on my web site people would donate x
amount each year for games, and as a result they would get all
alpha, beta, and full releases of my games for a reduced price or
for nothing at all. That's a way of putting money into the company,
but also giving people x number of games for a base fee.

I can see your point here, but unlike the one that you took the
games over from. You have come out with updates and reasons why
you got set back.
your right a game can not be done in a day and neither was the
earth.
pre orders are up to you, but personally i see the head ache makes
them not worth it.
Just so the others know. Big game companies break out the info on
the update. Just to wet your apatite and then take as long as they
want on the release with no info until release. So you could be
waiting six munths to over a year for more info on the game you
pre paid for, and they do not answer email or letters about said
games.
