Yes, the token path will continue to be available after the window closes. See TotalGaming.Net for more about tokens.

The Beta is still open until tomorrow (Tuesday).  We don't leave it open all the time because we need to limit the number of testers. Too many and things become unwieldy to manage.

True. But then again, they only have a month and a half to have the game "finished" -- sure, there are 2 months past that until release, but they need time to go through QA, go gold and make the CDs, distribute, etc etc. (Question for the devs: Do you go through QA before or after that month and a half mark? Is it an ongoing process since your doing so much "in-house", or does Stardock actually have a separate QA that it has to pass after that mark?)

./Just realizes that he'd sent a PM -- not five minutes earlier -- to someone named "JudgementTAA" -- with information that just got proven incorrect. Alas, I can't figure out how to PM him without either replying to a post of his (best of my knowledge he hasn't made any) or an existing PM to reply to (I deleted it already). Boy do I feel stupid!

It has to pass Stardock QA and Microsoft QA for the Games for Windows program.

And there, ladies and gentlemen, is why I love the devs here -- they'll actually answer questions, even "irrelevant" ones!
