It's like buying a tiara for your fetus, before you even buy a crib.

ALSO, MICROTRANSACTIONS = DLC.

I often play a game called Sailwind. Very relaxing, but impressively deep sailing sim. It's been early access for a couple of years, but the (solo-)dev is active, new features are added all the time. If he would release a paid, cosmetic dlc: I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I think it would be nicer than to "get him a coffee" or sub to his patreon.

What I'm trying to say is: not all early access is bad, not all paid dlc is plain greed. And the combo is not necessarily toxic.

I'll give you that. Someone up the thread mentioned Dead Cells, which is/was in the same category for a while. I'll revise my premise a bit, thank you.
