We bought a game and are volunteering time to improve the game. If anything that only further enforces the argument. A fortiori, some basic recognition for doing QA work for free would be nice. I'm not saying I expect it, but damn I'm a paying beta tester and it's like nobody from Larian cares or recognizes that we're being extremely accommodating just because we're passionate fans.
Do you understand that then Larian should make a selection of "best" beta testers who really helped them in some way, and not just played in EA? Just really a lot of people bought this game, maybe in advance, maybe because they want to try it, and not just with the thought "I'm a beta tester. wanna help!". It would be strange to give out some significant bonus to everyone who bought the game on EA.
It's funny, for example, beta access for a new Pathfinder is much more expensive than its future release version, and it was really hard to get it. And even then, people could buy access just to play game. Because they don't want to wait, that's all. To be honest, I don't know if they will get a bonus for this.
It's great that there are some people who are really concerned about the fate game and help make it better, but it's definitely not everyone who bought EA access to BG3.
And I must agree with Maximuuus. I'd like to see some communication with us. I mean say "no, we won't do this" or "yes, we are considering this" to calm some people down. Because people write about the same topics all the time. Although I am surprised that the question of day and night is still raised, when Larian was told cycle of day and night will not be.
