What Are Alpha/Beta Tests for Games

So after my last video I had many, many comments both here and on Reddit about how beta can still have many things to change and that it was definitely beta etc and people legitimately trying to argue over a pre-defined phrase in software testing

So I thought I would make this as a sort of clear up video where hopefully people who either don't know the difference or are unsure what the set standards are can find out

When I judge an alpha or a beta game to be either of those things I generally base it on what I cover in the video 🙂

Hope it helps!
