If game developers can release games that they get paid for but aren’t actually complete I think that has a negative effect on everyone.
My broad view is that early access is actually anti-consumer. You pay for a subpar product with the ‘promise’ of future improvements.
As a consumer you can vote with your wallet but you’ve already given them your money, what pressure realistically can you apply to a developer that abandons a project? It was early access after all, what did you expect?
