All of these pay to play/demo/beta sites suck. I have been pissin and moaning about them for years. And what kills me is that advert ppl still goto them. So, not only to they have paying customers for what should be free, they have advert dollars they get to screw with. I hate them all with a passion and it will never change. Good to see more of you bitching about it though

Nah, what I mean is that the chance of actually winning one of those, are so small that all time practicing for it could be better spend on plain having fun with that game. That cod2 mappack can be downloaded from any fansite btw, and I bet your subscription way surpasses 5 dollars.

Just put the podcast on rapidshare and link please if it's "exclusive", that will teach them robbing adverts from good old GH.

:rant: I h-a-t-e f***planet :rant: I use it very rarely. - Only if im forced to do it (but often I can find the files via google, or on usenet).

I dont get why its such a popular place, and I really dont get why developers who want to get their game demo or beta out to the public, choose to use such an annoying site. - they loose a lot of people in that way (for instance: I was going to try the dungeons & dragons online beta, but I did'nt want to wait in line 20 mins, to D/L a 1GB file)

Filplanet should be illegal to have on a webserver :P

There is always someone willing to pay to be first. Thats why. It sucks in soo many ways, it is just not funny. The way I think it should go is: Pay to get a higher lvl in the beta as opposed to pay to be in the damn thing. There is no way in hell this is good marketing. Let me see, have our beta on a stite that requires you to pay and make a buck or give it to the general public where anyone can dl it and if it is good, go thru word of mouth and make it that much better. It is this kind of shit thinking that makes games stale. There are a lot of ppl that like and can pay to be first! That is what these douche bag pay sites tap into. Screw them all
