:::::::::Speculation? Where? We know that we don't know a lot about the internal development of the games. Prototype is extremely imprecise, referring to anything before final, that's why I wanted to use the term. Beta, to the contrary, is not a general term, and does not cover anything except the later preview bug-check releases. [[User:DanPMK|MK]] 05:19, 28 January 2009 (UTC) | :::::::::Speculation? Where?

Ugh. Beta = testing stage. Prototype = An original type, form, or instance serving as a basis or standard for later stages. What dictionary do you use anyway?

:As I stated, many many times now, that is precisely what we are talking about. What if a game is leaked and we get more information about it? What if there are new discoveries? What if a developer speaks out? These may have specific version information, or build dates, or other dated markers. These articles should be a generic hub for any prototype form of the games. All betas are prototypes, but not all prototypes are betas. [[User:DanPMK|MK]] 05:26, 28 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
