I guess I am one of the few people in the world who won't create an account with File Planet. I have never needed to download anything that I could not find elsewhere for free. So why would I pay money to register an account with File Planet just to get a Beta of a game?
I have been a beta tester for over a dozen games in as many years and have never heard of a company charging people to help them find bugs in a product. Usually they offer incentives for doing it, they don't charge you to help them.
Seriously, with all the complaining about EA that goes on around here I am surprised no one has mentioned this yet. There have been hundreds of threads about EA fleecing us and this pay to play crap on a beta is ok?
I honestly think File Planet paid EA to be the only supplier of the BETA for the sole purpose of making money off it. It's a joke and I feel for anyone dumb enough to pay for something that has in the past been free by nature.
