I agree with closed beta, but for a different reason: I hate beta testing software. I don't have time for that anymore. Maybe if I was in my 20's or younger. I only want complete games, relatively bug free.
I think that it works well for games that have very long development cycles where a lot of that development cycle is tweaking. Think of something like Dwarf Fortress.
Yeah except that Dwarf Fortress was a complete game for years and free. Under the hood it's the same game, it only costs money now if you're getting the better graphics and music added.
