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.

Was just gonna say I've put an embarrassing amount of hours into Satisfactory, which is an "early access" game I paid like $20 for. Nothing wrong with it. It's not an abandoned product, but even if it was I'd have a hard time complaining about it.

I have 1000 hours in Satisfactory. And there's a LOT currently wrong with it. Tons of bugs, incomplete mechanics, performance issues, and it got worse in Update 8 not better because of the engine update.

That said, the team is working on it, Coffee Stain will get it ironed out and release a solid v1.0.

Yeah it's alpha software. Even fully developed AAA titles ship with bugs. My point is they haven't decreased my enjoyment of the game at all, and that's a counterpoint to the meme.
