    I don’t mind early access, but in also not tripping over myself to play them.

    If the game is fun as it stands, then awesome. Anything extra is the cherry on top.

    If the game feels half baked and like it’s missing all sorts of stuff, then naw. A game like that is just abusing it’s early access status. Trying to sell itself on the promise of what’s to come.

      What about games that become less fun as their development goes along? That’s another thing I’ve noticed with some early-access games whose early versions were more… concentrated, for lack of a better term. If there’s progression involved, it tends to go pretty quickly in early versions. Development then doesn’t change how the game plays or where the progression begins and ends, instead it just adds padding between the fun bits and makes everything take longer. Ever encounter a game like that?
