Side note: There are a few devs still worthy of early access support, but that's usually for niche markets or under special circumstances.

A lot of my early access titles I bought ended up in Epic's free list. You might even get it for free from Epic (if they keep doing this promotion). Most games drop in price pretty quickly, and if you wait for the post release patches, you will also get a game that is finally ready for playing. And yes, I realize 1.0 releases have been trash across the board (ie cyberpunk), but at least they wouldn't have the EA excuse the devs always hide behind.Īnd let's face it, any savings you get for buying in early access will be matched if you simply wait 6 months to a year after the 1.0 release. If not for the early access excuse, these games would have been forced to release, and as such be held to the standard of a 1.0 release. Being in perpetual early access has given devs an excuse for their games to be buggy, unbalanced, missing features, lacking endgame, and have a host of other technical issues. I'm tired of games never reaching 1.0, or reaching 1.0 in an unfinished state.
