Well, practically he have played this game for a while.....
...but he, and all of us are doing beta testing this game so far. And people after beta is officially finished did not buy the game to test betas; they came to enjoy the game, not test.
I mean, this game is still barely in beta stage: crapload of very basic features (i.e replays) missing and a lot of things broken and not just working.
Merely about 60% of this game is working. I don't call it "out of beta" now.
I would agree with SD response if he ever "played" this game. But so far, he has no chance to "play" this game, instead he "tested" and and saw this game is half done.
/2cents.
P.S : And us official beta testers of this game, a long time ago... We demanded devs and SD to postpond the release date since it was apparant that this game is not even close to be playable. Even with small numbers, people just could not connect to each other. A lot of new things just got in last minutes without passing beta testing and this is all we have now. I wonder why we had 4 months of beta testing if you guys implement most of things like 5 days before the game launch.
