Err no. The backers that backed lower than beta don't actually have any claim to it. Josh can of course give whoever he wants beta, legally no one can do anything. It does undermine his credibility completely though.CSE wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 12:26 amDisclaimer: I won’t be a beta tester, as I won’t have the time to make a meaningful contribution.

Also because all backers includes levels cheaper than the game would actually be.
Actually, this issue is a non issue: the backers have a right to have the beta, they do not have a right that nobody else does. To have this right, the beta should be « exclusive »; promised was only a « closed beta », therefore making it publicly available to download would not be fair.
So Josh is 200% free to involve whomever he wants in the beta, backer or not, as long as it is not a free for all download link publicly publicized !
You can't argue semantics when it comes to public opinion.
