Thread: What if the beta testers got a discount on SC2?

  1. #1

    Default What if the beta testers got a discount on SC2?

    What if Blizzard was just like, "Hey, it's been a great beta. Thanks for putting up with us and all the bugs and balancing. We're attaching a one time only 25% SC2 discount tag to your battle.net account. Hope to see you on bnet!" I mean, this is just an absolutely WILD idea, but one can dream . . .

    Your thoughts?

    Might sound good in theory, but it's practically not doable. Either way, I'm not for it.

    Beta is one of those interesting things where you're basically working for Blizzard for free, but you really really really want to, so it's mutually beneficial. I'd be happy with some sort of special achievement or something small that thanks you and show you participated in the beta, because if the game is still played in 10 years time like it's predecessor that would be pretty cool to have.
    I really need to change this...

    "In your dreams HAHAHAH!"



    Uh my personal thoughts, Hell yes I want a discount.
    Being realistic, getting to play the game early and etc....I'm good with that.
    59$USD doesn't go far these days, *Cough* Modern Warfare 2 *Cough*.
    I'm willing to spend full retail on StarCraft 2.

    It's like you're going to the movies, except you know the movie will be good...so you have no hesitations on buying the ticket .
    Despite my griefs with B.Net 2.0 and all that fancy jazz , its not so bad when you look at other games... like recently released Alien Vs Predator... First day they had Pay-For-Map DLC's which shattered the community. If you go on right now, you can't find a single full server...just a myriad of empty servers...rather depressing actually...I was looking forward to Alien vs Predator..

    I would much rather have something that showed I participated in the beta to be honest.

    I'd definitely go for that. A little achievement or something would be nice.

    sound good tough but there are many testers and that will be lost of money i guess...
    i say no to this but as someone already said... when the game is released beta tester could get a "beta tester" medal or something.. that could be cool

    It's pretty funny so many people voted "hell no". Like "no way I want my games cheaper! Wth is blizzard thinking!"
