Err, this must some new form of love with which I'm unfamiliar.

Do you mean you love to work for free? to bust your butt so others can profit? Is your name in the credits enough? I'm afraid this mindset eludes me.

I have done professional beta testing and even though I am not in this beta, I can tell you there is a diffrence :

professional - paid work - even if you do not like the game

play it over and over again for hours and try and do each and every possible scenario as well as doing it on diffrent hardware. Get paid quite a bit in some cases and name in credits, have to write bugs found in great detail on how it occured, and blablabla, annoying!

hobby - free

You get to go through and play a game that you love, get to see it before anyone else, for free but possibly get a position in special thanks in the credits, and just report any problems you find in a general manner, and in some cases get a special offer or a free copy of the game when it is complete

(I dont think there will be free copys of SEV or no one will buy!, it seems everyone who wants to buy the game got in to the beta test apart from me!)

that just about sums it up....

I didn't get into the beta. Didn't try - Not enough time.

We all know the Beta Testers are only in it so they can learn all the sneaky tactics first so when PBW SEV comes around they can quickly crush all opposition and claim status of Galactic Overlords

Of course then they turn on themselves, giving us mere non-beta testers/mortals a chance...

Fear the beta testers of DOOM!

I would have LOVED to be a Beta tester. Did it for Starsiege, had a blast. Had more fun in beta than in the final, because of some unfortunate design decisions...

But most of all, I just want to play SEv, even if its not done yet...

You would have to look for yourself. www.malfador.com and SFI. There are a few game previews out too.
