Do you join game betas or alphas?

When a new pet site or simulation game opens for beta or alpha testing, do you usually sign up?

Is it the exclusive early access, special perks, or the excitement of helping shape a game before it launches publicly that draws you in?

If you’ve participated in beta or alpha testing before, which pet sites or sim games did you join during those early phases? How did you share feedback, and did the developers actually listen and respond?

No, I rather play and enjoy the complete version. I don't have time for glitches or bugs.

I have joined a couple of open beta testing for virtual pet games and I can relate how frustrating it can be to deal with broken mechanics and data wipes. I joined the beta testing for Flight Rising early on. I did not like economy balance. The team was transparent with weeekly development logs regarding that. And they finally adjusted it to what the testers demanded.

I'm waiting for beta access to Aniimo. I'm hoping I can get early access on Xbox when it's available.
