Lastly, for those still against Early Access, isn't the real issue that you have no self control and will buy a game despite knowing it's not feature-complete?
I am pleading guilty. My game log is full of games I've not played or tried for one hour or less. I dont know how to stop. I cant simply resist. I have no other interest but owning loads of game. I am stockpiling. Might be the end of the world effect? Or sharing same gene stock as squirrels? I tried rehab. It did not work.
I cant control myself, for truth.
Is that the developer's fault? Really?
It is my fault for sure. I cant take responsibility for my own actions. So I must imagine that developpers create a framework, an environment that comes with consequences and drive certain behaviours. You know, stuff like putting people in a pit with some food around and see if they are going to steal that food or if they can die out of starvation, things like that. But that does not exist. Personal choices and all.
And is it the developers fault that the industry is difficult without a publisher that ends up owning everything you make, and that things like Greenlight, Early Access, Kickstarter etc are sometimes the only way for a struggling dev to make it, it being all those games you complain never get made anymore??
No, no, it is not their fault. That's the fault of the big, bad publishers that created a system where they end up everything developpers make.
Shouldn't you be supporting these devs that make the old school RPGs that you love, instead of nit-picking every-tiny-last choice they make?
Ummm, more old school rpgs, I cant resist them. I must play them as soon as they are available, finished, unfinished, I cant simply resist.
Is it any wonder the industry ignores you when you act like entitled, spoiled brats when half the world's population (minimum) have much larger issues than a game going on Early Access???
Thanks, thank you so much. What enlightening words. They lay out the path to help half the world's population (minimum): Early Access should be left alone.
How luck that half the world's population (minimum) is that the improvement of their existence is as easy as not writing words on EA on a forum that wont influence anything anyway, to preserve a system like SEA that half the world's population (minimum) would be better off if it did not exist.
That is wonderful.
