    I also think the name “Early Access” is misleading. You’re really paying to become a beta/alpha tester which also includes a license to the full release when/if that happens. If that is what you want, then that’s fine, and the product page always details the current state and plans, but I still think it’s a tiny bit problematic.

    Personally I ignore most Early Access games altogether and only buy if the price clearly makes sense for what the game offers at that moment and that seems pretty rare.

      I hate that so many are trying to normalize the “release” date with the Early Access. Like no, your game being in beta testing is not “released”. CohhCarnage is doing it with his game he’s a part of, using the word “release” when he’s talking about “Early Access”. You opened up early access. Your game releases later.
