Why not ?  It's my game so I do what I want with it.  It's not like I'm asking for money really.  I'm just making it available so you can try it out, that's all.

I was thinking out loud, I wasn't talking to you specifically. I just think it would be better if betas were not released, that's all...

Too many games (with good intentions or not) were never finished, so I personally avoid "previews". If a game has been finished, that's okay but not if it's just a preview that might never see the light of day. As long as it's not a finished title I simply avoid it that's all. I can understand someone wanting to show off his work but I personally will avoid touching any "betas" or "previews" because 50% of those will never be finished, so why should I try them in the first place then...

I can understand your point of view, but what I've released is essentially complete and able to be experienced as it is intended.  If you choose not to download it, that's fine, but if I didn't release this now, I don't know when it would be released, so I thought I'd do it this way.  I did wonder if it was the best course of action, but I thought it could be interesting releasing level after level in this way...  I guess we'll see.

  Any developer continuing to work on a project for whatever reason may not finish it.  That's just the way life goes.  This may not be known to occur, so there may be no deception involved, sometimes things just happen.  My opinion is you should try things that are available (especially for free) so that you can encourage the developer to finish whatever it is they are working on.
