What's The Point of PTBs Once this Forum Ceases to Exist?
Will they be called PTBs but will really just be previews of what is to come?
Where do you plan on getting coherent feedback from? Discord, Reddit, Twitter and the Steam forums won't give you that.
Just for content creators to advertise your game for you while you mostly continue to ignore their suggestions?

PTBs already have no real deal. Despite playing in before, there is most likely no usefullness, as everyone with decent gamesense can deduce how certain changes will work out. Also, feedback literally has not much influence on the outcome, as they dont even take the time to make proeper changes if needed, they are too fixated on holding their scedule.

I think the Forum Feedback was already pretty much just an afterthought and they primarily used their other platforms - including their Partner CCs and their following. Well. Mostly those to be honest as those are the biggest and loudest crowd.
Also, it is advertisement and has shifted away from the actual test part more and more, and actual game breaking stuff will get to their attention with or without the forums anyways

What other platforms are we talking about? I thought this would be the best place for info to be given to the devs but guess I was wrong ?

It is the best place to have your opinions heard by the devs, on other platforms they're drowned out by all the noise. But they spend more time over there because there's simply more people. Doesn't mean they listen much to them though.

officially, Reddit, Discord and X are their Main platforms I think.
Those are all popular based though, so if you actually want your post seen it needs plenty of upvotes. So… good luck.
but to some degree thats already the case now, the Forums have had less and less dev and Community Manager interactions.2
