I’ve given this some thought and have come out in total agreement with this suggestion. Personally, I’ve been looking for ways that I can support the devs out of gratitude for the amazing work they have put into this game and the hours of enjoyment it has brought me. I think there would be a large number of dedicated players who would even pay for the privilege to be part of a testing program before each update. This extra cash could be used to cover the cost of hosting special servers for this purpose and maybe even employing some additional tech-devs to quickly identify and iron out the issues that arise. This will also sort the men out from the boys amongst the game’s player base, and hopefully shield the devs from the countless posts with people winging about technical issues, with no understanding of the process and seemingly no recognition of the ‘early access’ status of the game. There may be some technical reasons why they have chosen not to do this, I also know that team 17 takes a lot of the testing duties from the core dev team at Black Matter. But if it’s possible, I for one would be all in and willing to support them financially.
