Take a drink for every early access game on steams best seller list, then take a drink for every year those games have been in early access

Yeah, but since Early Access doesn't have that stigma for most of the people using Steam (otherwise EA sales would be lower), it's probably a safe bet to call it Early Access if you're going to keep adding content since people are more forgiving of flaws and you can fix them before the official reviews come out and mess up your metacritic score.

I get being against this idea of paying for unfinished poo poo and gently caress knows there's tons of that poo poo out there that doesn't even bother finishing after they get a big bag of cash from some dopes but the model does let some good games come out that wouldn't be made otherwise most likely Edit Falsum posted:Yeah, but since Early Access doesn't have that stigma for most of the people using Steam (otherwise EA sales would be lower), it's probably a safe bet to call it Early Access if you're going to keep adding content since people are more forgiving of flaws and you can fix them before the official reviews come out and mess up your metacritic score. Yeah this too

The big problem with Early Access is that almost everyone who reviews an early access game talks about the potential it has, not what's currently in the game. People give poo poo to an incomplete released game, but not to an incomplete EA game. Early Access can be really good, but it can also be really bad.

Nah, it's just all bad games for idiots and every single early access game blows my nuts, imo.

War for the Overworld and Prison Architect are also shaping up to be pretty good (but PA also outlines another problem with Early Access: how easy it is to just keep adding content and delaying the proper release). I don't know if I should count Kickstarter games, although they're similar since you give a bunch of money to someone for a complete game at some point down the road, but there have been several successful Kickstarter games like Divinity Original Sin or FTL. There's definitely a lot of bad in both EA and Kickstarter though.

Yeah, if you pay money for a product you should be able to get some value out of that product right now.
