I for one really appreciate the willingness of Stardock and GPG to put beta builds into the hands of customers to get feedback early.
The current beta 2 build only works occassionally on my machine, but that's fine. It's beta. And the fact that it's worked more often on other people's machines means that they've gotten more customer feedback than they would have if they hadn't released a build before the holidays.
If others don't like the crashes or the lack of polish that accompany early beta builds, they're under no obligation to download or play the beta. And those who are willing to wade through the crashes and glitches provide feedback that ultimately make this a better game for everyone.
