Can you muppets stop throwing away money on awful companies producing subpar games? (lemmy.world)

I propose 2024 is the year of early access games boycott.

Bring back completed games only.

My rule is that I only buy an Early Access game if I'd still be happy with it even if the devs never made another update (because sometimes they don't).

This is my thoughts exactly early access tells me there’s gonna be bugs probably and the game will likely be incomplete. If that doesn’t stop me from having fun I’ll buy the game

That's one of two scenarios where I'm happy to buy early access. Valheim and Palworld both fall in that category. The other category I'm happy to buy early access is for a project I am particularly interested in seeing succeed (and willing to give some feedback on to help). So far I think I've only done that with BG3 and that turned out pretty well for me.
