I assume that most of you have heard about this, but if not, here it is directly from the horses mouth: StrikeForceCenter
What do you guys think about that? It sure adds incentive to buy a subscription, but I think the idea of the subscription to a website is a little shady.I've been doing some thinking this weekend and I plan to let everyone that got a site subsciption test all of our unofficial builds with us. Basically this means all of you will get an email with a link to download every new internal release we come out with. This will allow you guys to test each version and see what we are working on as well as help us find bugs and tweak every version. This also allows us to get more invovled with the community to make SF better for you guys. So everyone that supported us by getting a site subsciption will get to test each and every internal build. Then when we finally release the official new beta you will know what all we went through to get to that point. Just another thing our team is doing with the community to bring us all closer together. Everyone should get your first email this week and if you have not signed up for a site subsciption do so right now!
This also helps us combat internal leaks. By us doing this we really don't have to worry about the code getting out. We will already be sharing it with all of you that got a subscription. So many developers today try not to let code get out but it is impossible. So instead of us having to worry about it we will take this step and we think it will only make our releases better.
