    Well said!

    I was not in the beta, though I did have a Gamestop key. I didn't want to spoil my anticipation to play, and I lived the beta vicariously through all the wonderful livestreams and replays.

    Here is something that could serve as a reward for beta: allow the beta rankings to transfer into the first ladder and/or league rankings and thank you guys by not making you replay your placement matches. Thoughts on that?
    I am a master tactician. It is my execution that keeps getting me killed.

    It's quite a stretch to say that most beta testers are "working" for Blizzard, much less in any way that merits compensation. Honestly, I think you'd have an easier time making the opposite argument--i.e. that beta testers should pay for the privilege.

    Maybe when Bobby Kottick starts to fly.

    But in all seriousness, it wouldn't be fair to all the other users.

    I voted hell yes, but this idea would never happen.

    If beta testers actually got a discount... man that would be dumb. Hahaha plus it would never happen.

    Blizzard and any other company in the right mind would never do this. For some if not most people would get a free discount, when others from the BlizzCon had to pay a some bit. Anyways with Activation merged with blizzard, that would never happen. It would probably be reverse if anything because of Activation. I voted the bottom one too.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure no one who participated in beta can justifiably say they felt as though they were "working" for Blizzard, or "working" at all for that matter. We all got to play an awesome game for months before it was even released! But, of course I would take a discount if they offered it.

    Since the question is not "would it be a logical for Blizzard to give beta testers a discount" and instead is "would you approve a discount" how can you not want a discount? You people are crazy! I want my game cheaper k thx
