I created this thread to better understand why Blizzard hates us beta pirates so damn much. Theoretically, a public beta would work just as a public demo would and attract more players to the game. But i guess it doesn't work that way after all:
Was planning to get it, and won't 12.82%
Wasn't planning to get it, and will 2.56%
Ouch. So basically, 10% of the people who would have bought the game no longer will. There is well over 100,000 pirate beta testers out there. So BnetD is costing them 10,000 sales - nearly half a million dollar in sales.
I think i understand now.
