Counter Strike: Global Offensive is biased to press only.

Hello,

I am writing my grievance toward how Valve is biased toward giving CS:GO beta keys to press only.

Hello,

I am writing my grievance toward how Valve is biased toward giving CS:GO beta keys to press only.

Pretty routine thing done by pretty much every game except games that have public demos. It's to help get hype while not having the public bash the game because they don't understand what Beta means...

Look what happened to Battlefield 3 during their public beta, I'm sure they took a sales hit because the public doesn't understand the concept of a beta versus a demo.

Happens in just about all areas of the entertainment industry. The press usually gets a copy first.

At PAX West last year they gave away beta invites to everyone who tried the game at their booth.

My confirmations were just confirmed Valve does not care anymore they are in bed with people that are not normally socially they diner to recluses that get only 5 minutes of sunlight.

What? I didn't understand a word of that.

Surely Valve are entitled to give beta keys to whoever they like? What have you done lately to suggest that you might improve their game if given a beta key?
