Realm Works Player Edition Update

[AEIOU]

This could give people the option to try it, being fully aware it is a beta version and give you guys a larger pool of people for feedback for possible bugs.

If you think the whining about not having access to the player version is bad.... I can't even imagine how many people would ignore the bold HUGE flashing notice while purchasing, while installing and while loading stating:

WARNING THIS IS A BETA PRODUCT AND IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FINAL PRODUCT

and who would immediately come to these forums demanding in no uncertain terms that they are entitled to a full refund for their entire gaming collection because LW should never have knowingly released buggy software and no, they didn't see the warning....

Seriously, why do you hate Liz so much?

While this may seem like a good idea on the surface....
again as the ole sage says...
"too many chefs,,, spoil the soup".

When released, they will get that "feedback on changes, improvements, etc" whether they want it or not... and they will try to appease the mass of them... AND as AEIOU points out some of those optional people would conveniently forget the definition of BETA.

And what could be Rob's motivation......

“Ten years from now, no one is going to care how quickly the books came out. The only thing that will matter, the only thing anyone will remember, is how good they were. That's my main concern, and always will be.”
― George R.R. Martin

I guess I am rather naive. I tend to have a higher hope for my fellow mankind. I will admit I am surprised at the level of entitlement some people believe they have. All in all though I prefer to believe most people are kind and reasonable.

Few weeks ago a women I work with drove up to their cottage late Friday night and saw a car wrapped around a tree, they stopped to find a women bleeding all over the inside of her car, and all doors locked. they called 911 on cells and luckily for that women an ambulance had been nearby crabbing a thermos of coffee in a near by area from friends.

They stated they had "saved her life" and that she was nearly gone and had been there for some time. They asked how that was possible, cars drive by here 24/7.

Their response:

"Most people just drive right on by and do not care"
