The Release of the Alpha Mod

I may very well be flamed for this post, but nonetheless...here it is.

 

I can't for the life of me figure out why moders insist in posting alpha-stage mods up on the site for download. Even more so, most often than not, they aren't even usable as they are missing key necessities like meshes, or scripting, or some other part that is needed just to be able to test the mod. I myself am not a moder. I create music. When I see these alpha mods being released, it would be like me putting up an unfinished song for download with only a baseline and a rhythm and then releasing it and asking for people's opinions of what they think. Really?...What do I think? I think it's not even a beta. It wouldn't even be worth listening to. I think it sucks...that's what I think. Personally, I have a little more pride in my work and myself than that.

 

All releasing and unfinished alpha as opposed an alpha that is at least testable does, is knock files down lower on the list that are actually usable where the creators and authors took the time to give something that is feasible. Even once these mods are finished, there's a good chance I won't download them. I figure that if the authors didn't have enough pride to upload something that is at least workable, albeit maybe a little buggy, then the finished product probably is going to be a pile anyway. Have a little pride and stop pushing beta and finished mods down the list because you can't exercises a little creative maturity.

 

Cheers.
