The games I have bought in early access:
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.
