I propose 2024 is the year of early access games boycott.

Bring back completed games only.

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 mean, yeah, for some of us it's apart of the experience to see a game change and grow over time and be apart of it. It's nice when developers respond directly to you and even take your ideas into consideration. It's nice being apart of a community, too

I get this if we're talking AAA millions of dollars dumped into a game and it goes early access, but EA indie games have been a blast for me for years.
