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

Bring back completed games only.

The games I have bought in early access:

  • Kerbal Space Program
  • Factorio
  • Satisfactory
  • Subnautica

Early access isn't the problem.

Was just gonna say I've put an embarrassing amount of hours into Satisfactory, which is an "early access" game I paid like $20 for. Nothing wrong with it. It's not an abandoned product, but even if it was I'd have a hard time complaining about it.

I have 1000 hours in Satisfactory. And there's a LOT currently wrong with it. Tons of bugs, incomplete mechanics, performance issues, and it got worse in Update 8 not better because of the engine update.

That said, the team is working on it, Coffee Stain will get it ironed out and release a solid v1.0.

Yeah it's alpha software. Even fully developed AAA titles ship with bugs. My point is they haven't decreased my enjoyment of the game at all, and that's a counterpoint to the meme.
