Still the most respectful way to release a game is when it's baked. Not some abomination that takes 5 years after release to hit it's target.

I admire the perseverance but still they knew their game was lightyears away from being finished and they released it anyway.

If we accept studios releasing unfinished games as long as they fix it later on... That's all we are gonna get in the future.

That is what we already get. They just abandon it after. Delivering it eventually is a novel response. They ain't a AAA company. The resources and delivery track record isn't there.

If only there was some sort of early access system to allow devs to get some monetization while they finish developing their ambitious game.

Its only novel that they got away with claiming a full release of their early access game.

No Man’s Sky is an odd case, when the game was delayed for a few months, the studio’s office was broken into and the developers were given many credible death threats. They almost had to release the game in such a state.
