EA 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"
