Astaroth is the prince of accusers and inquisitors. According to some demonologists of the 16th century, August is the month during which this demon's attacks against humans are stronger. His name seems to come from the goddess 'Ashtart/Astarte' which was rendered in the Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible as Astharthe "singular" and Astharoth "plural", that last form rendered in the King James Version of the Bible as Ashtaroth. It seems this plural form was taken either from the Latin or from some translation or other by those who did not know it was a plural form nor knew that it referred to a goddess, seeing it only as a name applied to some god other than God and therefore the name of a devil.

Beta for Azeroth 

A piss-take of the World of Warcraft expansion 'Battle for Azeroth', developed by Activision Blizzard.

The beta testers were mostly streamers who did fuck all testing. Those who DID actually send in bug reports were just ignored. Blizzard used the beta as a PR stunt, and chose to ignore 99% of tester feedback, causing the game to inevitably release in a half-finished state, riddled with bugs, typos and horrendous lag.

A year from release, lots of the bugs were fixed. However, many still remained, and players remained plagued by horrendous lag, quests failing to complete, and more.

Players began to refer to the game as 'Beta for Azeroth', taking the piss out of the fact the beta test was utterly worthless, and therefore it fell to the community to do the actual testing.
Player 1: I finished a heroic Warfront and the quest failed to complete. I opened a ticket, and the GM responded the next day saying it's fixed and to try again. I tried again and it was still broken. I'm getting sick of beta testing this game.

Player 2: Well, they do call it Beta for Azeroth for a reason.

Player 1: Blizzard are a small indie company, so you've got to cut them some slack.
