Maybe instead we should push the revoke the law that forces you to buy early access games?

It was painful waiting for them to fix the Baldur's Gate 3 xbox save bug before buying it, while everyone was abuzz. But I stand by my principles, the game must work!

I also love the convenience of bulk buying dlcs and games in steam sales. 80% off everything? Now the whole deal costs less than one DLC 4 years ago? Boy howdy.

EA allows people to create games who normally wouldn't have the money to do it.

It's an odd concept for sure. People pay extra money to be beta testers for a game company. That's an actual paid career, yet people are willing to pay to do it.

I haven't been.

Yup. I've made a rule for myself to buy only finished indie games. AAA games are way too long anyway. And paying $70 for an oversized hard drive hogging bugged out mess is just wrong. No beta, no early access, no pre-order. When in doubt replay Stardew Valley to soothe the soul.

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 😱

Yep everyone just needs to slow their roll. I don't even go for DLC, not part of the original game not buying it.

Oh, sweet summer child...

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

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.

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.
