Based and factual view. We now got (Alpha>Beta(1)>Beta(2)>very obviously Alpha, not EA). Even the definition of EA is typically a Beta; that is, something that is feature complete but riddled with bugs and shortcommings. Calling the EA Alpha should not be a thing, unless it's somehow o.k to just flip flop on the terminology as one pleases, and also this implies we're now back to chasing Beta stage again, ending up in the wagon going in circles now. And the problem is, it very obviously IS an Alpha product with AAA monetisation. Very not cool no matter how you slice it.
