Many times game developers issue a beta to select participants or to the public. Sometimes users feel that this "beta" feels nothing like a beta, and more like a demo. I'm not suggesting that blizzard is doing the same, although by reading this article here I noticed that there are many striking similarities to what EA does and what Blizzard is doing.
To sum it up before you read it:
Demo - The intention to give people a "taste test".
Beta - The intention to test the game for bugs, glitches and server stress.
Beta - The ability to say "this is not the final product, and we realize that there may be glitches which is why you are testing the game, in part.
Basically the title demo and beta can be extremely deceiving. Read further here (short read which makes sense!): Beta VS Demo
I have a feeling this Beta will then become the Demo for the game.
Quite often people do think the Beta is a demo for the game and should be bug free. The D3 Beta looks more polished than most betas but then again they have a larger staff that can do internal testing than other companies.

On Strike and supporting Fallout 4 Mod Makers
Some fallout 4 mod makers have had their mods stolen and uploaded and downloaded on Bethesda's site for the Xbox One.
Hmmm, it could be alot of people are playing it as a demo and not looking for bugs, or don't notice one. But when its obvious i think they report it. Like astion said, if it plays like a demo they did a real good job

Went outside today, the graphics were ok. But the gameplay sucked
