Arma 3 (All Campaign Episodes released!)

[Amit]

It's kinda like Minecraft, where you could get the Alpha (and Beta) for a price, but it was lower than the final, release price.

DayZ is following Minecraft exactly. Arma 3, however, is a little different. Not everything completed 100% is going to be added into the Alpha and Beta since I imagine that there are things they want exclusively in the release verion., but there will be some content updates for the beta and alpha.

No, the alpha and beta are free (when you pre-order). You're paying for the finished game. The tradeoff is that it's not finished yet. But you can play it as they finish more and more features and it enters beta. Then you can play it some more when it's in beta. Then you can play it some more when it's finished.

Fixed for people getting confused by Zeph's lack of context. Exactly correct, otherwise.

Alpha is free if you get invited. Not sure when the invite Alpha begins but it's not yet. I have 3 invites to it I may not use so I may give them out to people who want them.

I also have the three lite invites, so that means between just us there's 6 to go around.
