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.

I'm very anti-pre-order, but early access I'm okay with. It comes with the same decision process as buying anything else, is what I'm getting right now worth the money I'm paying? If yes, then buy it, if no then don't. I don't buy promises, I buy products.

Baldurs gate 3 is a good example of early access done right. I knew going in I was getting the first 4 levels and roughly 1/4 - 1/3 of the planned final game, but what was there already was worth the price I paid, even if they never finished or released it, I got my money's worth imo. I put like 200+ hours into it before it released, i can't be mad at that for 30 bucks.
