Let’s not pretend like that’s a magical concept and because it’s getting continually updated that it can’t ever release. A lot of games have done that concept and they see releases.
World of Warcraft, for example, is still seeing regular releases since 2004, when it launched a game that gave a sense of “complete” while still seeing updates. So many updates that Blizzard re-released the original game. Final Fantasy 14, which originally released such a trash version, re-made the game, released A Realm Reborn in 2013 and still sees updates to this day. League of Legends, a free-to-play game, released in 2009 and still sees regular updates, without expansions, and which you can play without paying a single dime to this day.
Being a “never finished” project isn’t a good excuse.
Final Fantasy 14, btw, began development in 2004-5, was announced in 2009, was released in 2010 as a trash game, then that awful version of the game was maintained and even updated while a complete remake was developed and released in 2013 as “A Realm Reborn,” a critically-acclaimed expansion. Even crazier is that Square Enix has released and heavily supported the game for PlaySation 3, PlaySation 4, and PlayStation 5, as well as the PC version.
It’s pretty pathetic that this game has received so much funding and is still in alpha over 10 years later.
