[QUOTE="brakel, post: 11890, member: 416"] The resons we won't see beta testing on the consoles are both time and money. The beta version would have to go through the same console approval process that the DLC goes through. Thats 5 weeks. Then time for us to play test it. At least two weeks, right? Then time for FS to fix problems. Again about two weeks probably. Then they resubmit to consoles again and pay again to sony and MS. Then five weeks later it would be released. So thats almost three times longer than normal and twice the price. Seems like a no brainer to me. Release and put fixes on the next DLC thats going in for approval. Hopefully that would be the DLC that would be two months after release. A console beta program means that we wouldn't see DLC for about 14 weeks after android and apple releases even once FS gets the console process perfected. Plus you're asking them to pay for extra approvals for the betas. For a small publisher I think its too much to ask for. [/QUOTE]
