I don't understand why they bother getting a public beta instead of giving us a proper demo. I guess the gaming industry has changed last couple of years. Demo's seem to be regarded as  a waist of time...

Also there have been very few innovating games since the financial crisis. I guess publishers want to play safe and milk out their popular franchise.

First: They can end beta whenever they want. That makes people buy the full game if they like it. BF1942 and BF2 demos still have a shitload of players.
Second: If something is wrong, they can say "it's just a beta".

Yeah, it is basically a demo, not a "proper" beta. The most important testing carried out during the open beta is most likely server stress testing and such.

I´d dowload it for shits and giggles, because I´d really like to try it out for myself, still kinda hoping it might turn out atleast enjoyable, but Origin with its uncanny EULAs is the main reason why I hesitate to take part in the Beta.... :/

How did you avoid EA spying on your data via Origin? Did you go for the SSD harddrive solution?

Yes the gaming industry has changed the last couple of years... ;) you did realize that now right? It is very different from 2002 or 2005... very... you don't need to worry about what the official naming of the file is.. beta, demo.. it doesn't really matter. It's purpose is to break the system. Basically get as many players in to the system so they can see when it breaks, then close it down, update it, put it back up, break it again. This is how you build a stabile gaming platform.
It's not like bf3 is just a bunch of servers running the beta which you connect to and test it and see if you "like it".. It's the entire system that needs testing, and the only way to do that is by flooding a lot of people in to it.
Basically a beta/demo is not about letting players try the game, it's about letting the creators trying it.

Maybe for small games like RO2 it is about allowing people to get a pre-taste to see if to buy it or not.. that's not the case here.
