their game patches 10-15 times on steam, forcing the end user to pay THEM to be their beta testers..
Sadly Nvidia also adopted this system with their buggy drivers, not only I bought their card I've been a driver beta tester for two months now..
examples
wargame airland battle
payday / payday 2
fallen enchantress
crusader kings 2
Europa universalis 4
shadowrun
stardrive
endless space
and you can add pretty much any game that lets you have alpha or beta status after you buy it. even when those games 'go gold' they are still broken.
I could go on but it felt good to vent..
This is why I feel that we should not touch alpha or beta games. They cause just too much hassle.
@Harthouse In my course work of games art and animation and freelance beta testing I have to say the these indie game makers need to do a lot more testing before even releasing. As I have been extremely frustrated with them lately myself. They have so much potential but are hindered by their updates. Even tho! They are trying to actively fix the problems. It just puts more work on to the CHT or any modders. Even if it means taking a bit more time to before they are released then so be it.

And that's one of the reasons why I don't use steam.
