I'm not sure how I could have been any clearer.
I said I was not criticising the choice by the individual developer but rather voicing my frustration at the prevalence of that choice.
I don't eat pork so I don't actually care about that particular market.
And for the record I won't be, I generally don't buy EA.
- linkdd 5y agoI'd rather have a ton of Early Access games, where players can take part to the development of the game (by giving valuable feedback to the developers and funding the development), than AAA games that are released incomplete and full of bugs like the CyberPunk fiasco. Or have a third of the content, then the rest as DLC like Paradox or EA does.
- colejohnson66 5y agoEA does seem to be used as a crutch by AAA games. “Look, we missed the deadline, but we’re releasing it anyways as an ‘early access,’ so don’t be mad if it sucks.” Maybe I’m just biased, but “indie” games that go early access make much more sense than AAA because it’s one person versus dozens or hundreds.
- linkdd 5y agoGames should not be released in early access because of a missed deadline. It's part of the release cycle: alpha -> beta -> early access -> full release. And you stay in early access as long as it's needed. I've seen a lot of AAA games do the following "Look the game is not finished, but we need the money, don't worry you'll be able to pay the rest as DLC"

- djmips 5y agoBecause he is tantalized by the idea and gets drawn in and hyped up only to find out it's early access and to him that's a huge disappointment. Why are people infuriated by people being infuriated. I don't feel the same way as this person but I basically understand them.
