I play a lot of betas. Some I loved and ended up buying the games, others I hated that I avoided them. But I enjoyed most of the ones i had my eye on already.

I like to try games before I buy them. Back in the PS3 days I used to get into some betas that were by invite. Not the ones I sign up for but got invited to take part and provide feedback. I was happy to do that but over time it changed to having to sign up to get in, it just wasn't the same anymore. It started to feel like a sign up to demo a game. Now it just feels nothing more than an actual demo that runs out of time and you gotta be in it to know if the game will be good to buy or not.

I do try to play games that don't interest me because you never know, maybe you just might like it after playing it or maybe you will hate it and will be glad you give it a chance. There's some betas I won't play because I'm already set on buying the game to be in for a complete surprise. And other times, like CoD, I just like to play the beta to get the newer game out of my system (knowing I will get bored fast) and save my money.

For a beta is going on for so long like Sea of Thieves, I'm completely burned out I don't even want to look at it anymore. lol
