I went ahead and bought a bunch of indie games, picked up Darkchaser, Oxygen Not Included, and UFO50, and also grabbed Cities: Skylines. Got used to the launch prices of some AAA games, buying these discounted low-priced games really doesn't hurt much.

Project Zombiod

Project Zomboid has been in early access for over 10 years. It was released into early access on Nov 8, 2013, and it's STILL not finished!

Factorio was in early access for 8 years. What's your point? Indy games take a while to develop because they gain haters and naysayers, like you, logarithmically compared to the funding that they get.

So far, Dyson Sphere Program has been in early access for 4 years, and they have one hell of a game.

I technically own Project Zomboid, I just don't really have any particular projects to complete in that platform, so I'm not exactly what you would call a fan of the game. I can see potential for an absolutely immersive RPG that could compete with Fallout 1 and 2 once the developers have time and funding to complete what they want to do.
