Again, it's literally not. I've done tons of actual alpha tests, this ain't it. This is far, far more complete than any alpha I've played in many regards, even if it's still working on reaching feature completion.
Even these alpha's often had actually useful tips/basic tutorials to get players familiar with the very basics of the game so they could actually test it. Since like, getting players into the game itself so they can test and provide metrics/feedback is the whole point of them getting in there.
What does this have to do with literally anything? I said it's publicly accessible. It is. What do streamers have to do with a game being a publicly accessible "alpha" that's not comparable in any way to actual "closed" alpha (hate that I have to put that in quotes since alpha's are usually closed by default) for traditional games.
Y'all constantly talk about how SC isn't a "traditional" game, except it seems when it needs to be a "traditional game" to deflect criticism.
