I propose 2024 is the year of early access games boycott.
Bring back completed games only.

I mean, just do a little due diligence, Jesus. I've bought PalWorld, Planet Crafter, Traveler's Rest, and more in early access and had a blast with all of them. In fact, I'd say it's some of the best bang for my buck in the last ten years of gaming. I've also not bought early access games because the five minutes of due diligence suggested that it was a garbage game.
I particularly think it's fine with small, indie studios that don't have a lot of devs or resources. No way in fuck am I buying an early access AAA release.
Pocketpair releasing Palworld into Early Access when Craftopia is still in Early Access leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth
Same, I looked at craftopia and thought "palworld is an obvious cash grab", which it might end up being. I'm glad people are having fun now, but I'm not buying into its future :)
I've read they also have a HollowKnight look-alike in the works as well.
The HK ripoff is called "Never grave" and they are stretching their resources thin on three unfinished products simultaneously
