Question on beta testers

I was wondering if SHIV had any ...tongue in cheek...beta testers.

It's just that I recall some of the sim companies using volunteers to check out their products for bugs.I never was a beta tester,as I recall it seems you needed to have a lot of credentials to get to be one.It would appear that Ubisoft didn't have beta testers,as I'm sure a lot of the bugs would have been caught.I'm sitting here thinking with the latest from Ubisoft being there may not be a 1.3 patch,and the mention of a class act law suit.Having a few free beta testers might have been a pretty good idea.I like playing SHIV,and the bugs don't bother me that much,as I'm just a dweeb,and play on 65% realism settings,but that is fun for me.This whole issue kind of reminds me of Eurofighter,and the microprose thingy.Talk about screaming for a patch.

Ahhhh the glory years of simming.
