As long as the early access game in its current form is worth the sticker price than there is no issue.

I haven't been.

The pirate life is the way for me

Memesoft and now sony are walking the correct path by creating a netflix VOD like subscription for their platforms, but i only buy current gen games though.

I think you’re a little late on that with Palworld and all.

Correction: Completed game under $20. 🧐

Nah. I propose instead you watch YouTube gameplay videos before buying games. Plenty of “completed games” are trash and early access titles absolute gems. Also regardless, you’re buying incredibly complicated software that people sunk countless hours of labor into developing for pennies on the dollar so like whatever. If a game is bad I won’t play it. If it’s janky I will move on with my life.

It's like when you buy something half finished with a big IOU stapled to it, you don't know what you're actually buying or something 😱

If ppl are too dumb to learn this lesson it's on them. It won't stop other indie developers from making great games.

Oh, sweet summer child...

For me, it depends. If the developer has a good reputation and is doing early access to present a better game at its full launch, I definitely don't have an issue with it. Unfortunately, devs and games like that are uncommon.

the last game I bought on launch day was no man's sky. I'm done playing money to be a beta tester for half a game, you'll get my money when it's an entire game that works or not at all.

As a fan of the Diablo franchise, I knew D4$ was going to be complete dogshit, so I never bought it. Every time I watch one of the professional streamers complain, I laugh my ass off. I think Hawg had it right; their plan is to dribble content to the player base a little at a time as a money grab.
