Early access like BG3 where you got act 1 a year early can be cool.
"Early access" where you can play the game 48 hrs early if you buy the super deluxe edition is ridiculous
Xenotilt is early access.
Moonring is early access. Hell, it's technically some sort of beta-not-a-release...thing.
I played Inkulinati in early access.
I played Potion Craft in early access.
They were not without their issues and bugs, but they were typically updated and fixed within reasonable amounts of time. (Sometimes too reasonable... Get some you time Dene!) If it was something game-breaking, it would get updated asap.
I guess the lesson here is small indy studios are usually a safe bet when it comes to early access if you do a little due diligence, but never trust the big corpos.
That's not what they meant though. In this case people are paying extra to GET the game 2 days early so they get a head start. I agree with your thoughts though.
