By your logic, than every single game ever made is a beta and forever will be a beta.

Or a mod is a beta until it is purchased by a studio, then it costs money...
BUT GUESS WHAT! Day-Z has not been promoted to your beloved "released" or "version" status, it's a MODIFICATION in ALPHA right now.
I'm going to laugh if/when Day-Z gets released as it's own game for like $30 and everyone who currently plays gets grandfathered in because they have ArmA 2. Two games for the price of one? Fine by me. Oh, and ArmA 2 has more mods than just Day-Z, I suggest you take a look at them. You're buying more than just the ability to play an alpha.
