It's not like it's a broken promise. (Destiny)

To believe that the beta access is a trivial thing requires quite a selective perception of how Bungie has marketed this game. The beta was the carrot and, as you point out, record pre-orders was the prize they were seeking for their paymasters.

You can't make too many assumptions about how long a beta will be, but I hope what the examples I posted demonstrates is what is considered reasonable; if you consider 8 months at one end of the scale and 3-4 weeks at the other, what is your view of a 10 day period only including a single weekend?

Edit: In fact, I can't think of any game that has been 'in beta' for a period this short before. If you can think of any examples I'd love to hear about them.
