Oh, there absolutely is! That’s because it’s been abused. @Scotch_Lufkin asserted in another post that he felt early access makes games better, and while I have no idea if that’s true, it’s an easily abused tool that I feel has made the industry itself worse, regardless of its effect on individual games. All very subjective, of course. Like any other tool, it just depends how it’s used.
I’m not aware of anyone here saying that, so I’m not sure why you’re making that point. But I think everyone here understands how early access can be useful to some developers. Even those of us who steadfastly avoid early access games.
But, yes, it would be weird for someone to be opposed to the concept of early access. We’ve had it as long as we’ve had software. It’s called beta testing and it’s pretty important.
