Developer The Fun Pimps says that the next update will not only usher in new gore, challenges, and improved controller support, but also move the 11-year-old game out of early access for the very first time.

It's not all good news, though, particularly if you already own the £30 zombie game on console.

Edit: I misunderstood what was meant by "technical differences", I didn't realise they don't have the source for the legacy console port and actually cannot update it - that's my bad, and it puts the efforts to get discounts for current owners in a much better light.

~~So because the game is significantly different after 11 years, console players have to buy it again? In what manner was that an "Early Access" title on console, then? They're basically declaring that 1.0 is a sequel, but only on consoles. Fuck these guys, they're pimps alright but of the "bitch better have my money" variety.~~ It's not even that good a game in any case; get Project Zomboid if you want zombies, or Grounded if you want first person survival crafting.

Agreed. That's ridiculous.
I always try to stay away from early access games that are a freaking decade+ old. That's a scam.

There are some great games that are in eternal Early Access. Dwarf Fortress, Starsector, nearly every roguelike...

Project Zomboid, which voracitude recommended as a better alternative to 7 Days To Die, was actually one of the first indie games to ever enter early access, is still in alpha, and yet is one of the best zombie games out there.
