I honestly would hold out hope to win one here. Steve is still giving them out. I tried the Twitter thing the last two days with no luck. I didnt realize you could just cut & paste the codes in.

I don't know what it is, but this is already pissing me off.

I tried yesterday but man, you gotta be the fastest on the keyboard to get those things. I saw some that were gone in literally 10 seconds. Just insane.

Yeah, for sure. My wife was like 2 seconds away from leaving me yesterday lol. I timed myself I cut & pasted a code it took me 6.5 seconds roughly...and it was gone.

I understand the PR gains that they get for giving out so many random codes, but I would rather that they had been more discriminatory in the selection process so as to not have so many people who can't stay on point.

This was my biggest concern. Codes to the masses and they are unable to articulate actionable feedback

I’m ok with this. Give them a taste. Maybe they buy it. I would love to see them give codes to the people who buy every 2 or three years, yet complain as if they are dissatisfied annual purchasers. At least this way their complaints can be relevant

I miss the days when they would take into account whether someone has done beta testing before. It's important that people understand what they are supposed to be doing. Finding bugs within the existing game modes, not asking for additional modes.
