Why not just release the beta version?

I have been wondering, if so much work has been done on 1.3 already, why not just release the beta version? I am sure that no one will complain about it (even if it does crash all the time) as long as they get to play it.

Because we arent like EA.

Its just not ready for a release yet, but almost.

We are waiting for an SDK update as well to fix a lot of issues.

The fixes are really just to smoothen out the MP, but Valve aren't willing to give us a good SDK update so its possible we will never see it.

Urgh..... The release date of Ep3 is still unknown..... does that mean the release date of 1.3 is postponed indefinitely?

btw, nice DP. Is that you by any chance?

Then we shouldnt rely on that and of course not make the 1.3 release dependent on that sdk update.

I really hope our coders dont decide so, it would be oc´s self-kill.
