I have seen similar commitment from other indie developers. For example, one of my favourite games [1] (which is something of a cross between Factorio, Simcity and OpenTTD) has been available for that "early access" on Steam for 4 years (like Factorio was). I suppose that means in the developer's opinion, the game is not quite ready -- they wouldn't sell it to someone who expects a complete game. Caveat emptor. Fair enough. In practice it has been playable and enjoyable (at least by me) since first listed on Steam in 2019. New features and more polish come every few weeks, and it's coming up on 1.0. I don't know if they'll keep supporting it well after that, but it's clear to me they want to sell something good and complete, however long that might take, not just something profitable.
