I can understand why folks might not want to bite at a title in Early Access just yet, which is totally fair - let others test the game and jump in after 1.0 and some word of mouth/reviews, totally get that. What I can’t figure out is the gamers that don’t like the concept of Early Access. As far as I’ve experienced, games that have had an early access period are (usually) launched in very good shape. Imagine if Cyberpunk 2077 had a year of early access, the game that might have come out of that instead of what we got?
Of course, like anything, it’s not always a good thing - there is something to be said for developers ignoring the vocal minority and making a change that ends up hurting the experience, but that’s (with the games I’ve been following) been the exception, rather than the rule.
