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.

I mean, just do a little due diligence, Jesus. I've bought PalWorld, Planet Crafter, Traveler's Rest, and more in early access and had a blast with all of them. In fact, I'd say it's some of the best bang for my buck in the last ten years of gaming. I've also not bought early access games because the five minutes of due diligence suggested that it was a garbage game.

I particularly think it's fine with small, indie studios that don't have a lot of devs or resources. No way in fuck am I buying an early access AAA release.

It'd be nice, if those AAA games were at least marked as early access instead of just being released and sold as something finished. But yes, you're correct.
