TinFoilMkIV Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Now I'd like to give DE the benefit of the doubt, as I have no clue what kinda process or whatnot they have to go through to get their listed information changed on steam, and this may already be in the works and just didn't finish going through whatever it needs to go through, but on steam the warframe page still has no easily noticeable indication that it is in beta, if there is even any indication on that page, as I was unable to find any myself. This seems like a pretty big issue to me when you consider that steam is likely going to be how most of the upcoming new players find this game, creating the false impression that the game is complete and in full release, is not a good thing. So yea, basically just posting to bring this up to make sure whoever needs to know is aware of this, as well as possibly inform new players that the game is in fact still in Open Beta despite there being no notice of this on steam.

Renathy Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 You do have to agree to beta terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirdstar Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) I remember reading somewhere that Steve was working on this issue. Edited April 1, 2013 by Thirdstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinFoilMkIV Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 I remember reading somewhere that Steve was working on this issue. yea, I posted something very similar to this thread the day of or after the steam release and he mentioned something to that effect there. I'm just bringing it up again because nothing has changed and I wanted people to be aware. I do think that something is probably being looked at, but we can only know what we see and what DE tells us. And yes having the beta terms is better than nothing, but I'm willing to be a fair number of players just breeze over that and don't even realize its not just a standard ToS thing.

Steam is NOT exactly known for being "fast" in the "fix-info-on-store-page" department. A dev i worked for had to wait 8 days for a "simple" change to the store page. Granted, 8 days, doesnt sound like alot, but its ages in the mindset of a consumer :) edit: was missing a "not" in there ...

Yeah needs a prominent BETA tag up on the Steam Store page. Like Arma has an Alpha tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompositeGNFNR Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Yeah DESteve said he was working on it, but I would not worry too much about it, seeing as you have to agree to beta terms before you finish downloading from the launcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasten Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Perhaps next time beta devs like DE should run store entry text by the their testing community first, before they submit it to online stores like Steam. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
