==Will there be a Diablo III beta test?==

~~It has not been~~ Yes. This was always all but confirmed, but ~~Blizzard has run large scale public~~ it was officially stated in various interviews from Blizzcon 2010. [CL: There will be a closed beta ~~tests~~ . I can say that. We definitely will have that. It’s incredibly important for ~~every one~~ us to get feedback from people. You know, we only want to put a game out there when it’s done. For example, when World of ~~their games thus far~~Warcraft had its really long beta, everyone thought it was madness. It~~'s hard to imagine that Diablo III won't follow that successful path~~was like “Who’s gonna buy this game? People have been playing it for free for months!” And all it did was make the game better. We need it. We need people playing the game and giving feedback, so we can make the game better.]

::'''AG: Blizzard has always been great at showing games to people at an early stage and I'm interested in that idea. Do you think there are risks of showing games to people early? What's your philosophy behind that?'''''
