Early access titles should have an “expire” time. Either get to market, or don’t early access if you can’t in time.
I feel like all that will happen is games will just release to 1.0 as “finished” when they clearly arent. It also may encourage rushing a game out thats a buggy mess.
Ive known some games to be very rough in early access that become absolutely gems a couple years later in development.
Yeah satisfactory spent 5 years in early access. Good dev takes time
What was the longest time between updates, tho? Was there more than a year without any game updates or even status updates from the dev?
While what you say is accurate right now. With the rule in place, automating small “check-ins” and “updates” could become a thing.
