Hi Charles, Yeah, that is just good business. One reason I have open public betas is to allow people to see the project as it is being worked on, add their two cents, and in a way it is a type of comercial of sorts. Plus it never hurts to get some sales through word of mouth.
I know when GMA released Time of Conflict I wasn't that hot on the idea. I really wasn't into the game. Then, I listened to Dark review the game in an audio podcast, and purchased the game the next day. What changed my mind was hearing someone else playing it and from the point of view of a customer like myself. He gave me more detail about the game than the website did, and suddenly I wanted more than the demo had to offer. Smile.
