Can you muppets stop throwing away money on awful companies producing subpar games? (lemmy.world)

I propose 2024 is the year of early access games boycott.

Bring back completed games only.

RimWorld, Subnautica, darkest dungeon, streets of rogue, project zomboid, oxygen not included, starsector, skull the hero slayer, dead cells, caves of qud quasimorph and universim are games i bought in early access that I do not regret in the slightest.

I'd say the biggest problem is these big companies who release "finished" games that are clearly not finished and the people who keep pre-ordering them

Add Baldur's Gate 3 and Hades to the list

And Factorio as well.

I think the problem is that it's a gamble, and there's always potential to get burned.

Money up front for something you really have no idea how it is, is stupid.

I think as long as you are content with the game's current state (in early access) you won't get burned. The only exception are the rare cases that the game gets WORSE after development.

This happened with the game snow for me. It was buggy as hell and terrible to play. I bought it too. Years later it's some subscription garbage or you need expansions or something. Like wtf did I pay for
