How is this not just an excuse to sell an unfinished product?

You can have your reply now but I'll finish writing it la

>>382888306
I thought they were getting rid of this anyways?

>>382888306
refunds

>>382888306

What? It's the perfect system. I can play hundreds of hours of the game in Early Access, then when it is released, refund it for full price :)

>>382888492
Yeah but some early access games never get released or development stops, and then you get burned.

This has happened to me on steam way too many times

>when it is released
Anon, I have some news for you...

>>382888306
I actually like early access. HOWEVER you should always buy games on it under the assumption they won't be improved from their current state.

The only early access game I can even consider enjoying is astroneer. And half of that was for the silly physics bugs.

After latest controversy with Star Citizen i hope this project fucking flops and creates a huge gaming crash so it will stop all the early access bullshit.

>>382888306
name one game made in the past 10 years that WASN'T an unfinished product.

>>382890336
you can refund a game once it leave early access even if you have 500 hours in it
they don't want to get mass refund, the game will never leave early access

Klei is the best example how to make EA work:
>release game in EA state
>releasing bugfixes and balancing things
>releasing big content update
>releasing bugfixes and balancing things
>releasing big content update
>repeat until game is finished
It's the only company that I trust when it comes to EA games.
