Who's signed up to the Game Tester Program?

So EA are now allowing fans to beta test some of their franchises if you opt in to the program, and The Sims is one of them *Screams with excitement*. So how many of you have??

You can find it in your origin > account settings section. It's one of the tabs along the left there.

I'd rather sign up for slow death on a torturing device then become unpaid beta tester for EA.

I think it is a fun experience to help improve the games!! Anyway, we always complain about the bugs in game.

now you can do both when you sign up for EA's beta testing of a torturing device designed for a slow and painful death- they don't pay you for it. *gives online papers to sign* simply sign here and you can do both

Yeah, cause it's so much better to PAY them 70 dollars to beta test the new Sims game as you play it new. I don't mind doing it for free if it means a better game out the pike later on. Plus it'd be cool to see how something changes as time goes on. I like this idea.

I'm opt in

This.

I think this is a GREAT idea, and hope a lot of EA players sign up. Thanks to TS4, I don't play any relevant EA games now so it would be pointless for me to sign up, but for those who play TS4 or other games... here's a chance to give EA feedback since fat lotta good these forums do

catloverplayer

I'm signed up. Hope I get picked to test Get Together.

Play

I've signed up too, could be an amazing opportunity!

MrSimmis

I did.

I hope that players can test the toddler life stage in Sims 4 beta test thing that way we actually could tell feedback in the best way, so they can tune things up!

People usually don't realize I'm not playing only Sims. All they believe is that I'm some rude troll that needs to be removed for sakes of the community health.
The only thing true is that I'm evil and I'm not hiding that fact behind peachy words and yucky suckups. I'll try to keep this as short as possible.

The example (and screenshot since many people here want spoonfeeding instead of following a link):
http://forum.deepsilver.com/forum/showthread.php/69083-Buglist-on-PC-(warning-spoilers-inside)



.
Yes, it was me testing, collecting bugs, helping people to overcome bugs in one game (it's not the only one, it's just an example).

But what happened next? Developers of that game sat down, warmed their chair and fixed every single bug that remained and was listed there. If you don't believe me, you can check that list against the patch changelog here:
http://forum.deepsilver.com/forum/showthread.php/69412-Risen-3-Titan-Lords-Patch-1-20

.
My problem people here refuse to see? Talk about everything but not the point? Although the problem is plain obvious? It's:
EA

I didn't make the buglist for Sims 4 because it would be silly, that thread already exists and bugs are being collected by @crinrict (respect!) at EA answers HQ:
http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/READ-FIRST-Compiled-list-of-Bugs/m-p/3445209#U3445209

Unlucky for you, me, all of us, it's EA.
For some reason known only to them, no matter how detailed reports are, no matter how many people report an annoyance, no matter how many times we mention that something plagues our game to the point of ruining our experience - EA doeasn't care for fixing bugs.

So, sorry people.
I did (beta)test things, and I will continue doing it for sure.
But I just won't do it for a company that just pretends to listen to the community. At least NOT for free.

Rflong7

I don't have a great computer so I don't expect them to pick me for anything.

Two questions.

1. How many people are signing up because they actually want to improve the game and not just for the sake of potentially having the new and shiny before the masses?

2. Does EA actually plan on fixing problems that are brought to their attention?

That is all.
