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

Bring back completed games only.

    Nah, I’ll buy quality games whether or not they’re EA. As with everything, you have to put in the effort to find the good shit mixed in with the bad. I’ve easily had at least a half dozen EA games that I’ve bought and played hundreds of hours, and more than a half dozen “completed” games that were absolute trash. Games like KSP, Minecraft, Factorio, Satisfactory, Oxygen Not Included, and DSP are some of my most played games, and all bought during early access/pre-release. And those are just the ones that come to the top of my head lol.

    When you buy something early access you have to know what you’re getting, and you have to understand this is potentially all you’re getting. With any early access game I purchased, I made sure that I’m okay with the game I purchasing and that I don’t feel like more justify my purchase. With that mentality I’ve never been disappointed in my choices for early access purchases, and the games I’ve purchased have all come a long way and some have even gotten to “completed”/1.0 level.
