Game devs should follow the BG3 development footprint (self.games)

Just release a beta version and let the true/core fans shape the final version of game.

I'm talking to you Hello Games (No man's sky), just don't mess it up with upcoming 'Light no fire'.

Edit: Blueprint (not footprint)

Early access isn't necessarily different from a beta version, it's just the name of the program used by devs to generate some revenue and get feedback during development. The game can be in alpha or beta or whatever.

Personally, I avoid games in early access on principle (with a couple exceptions) as I would rather play them once they are completed.

Same, I got little enough gaming time, might as well play it once it's in its best state and play something else before that.
