I propose 2024 is the year of early access games boycott.
Bring back completed games only.

The thing is, early access games aren't necessary unplayable.
If they are good enough in their current form to warrant the price, then that is a good time to buy them. The updates are only a bonus at that point.
But don't buy early access for the promised features, since they may never arrive.
Yup. Palworld needs a lot of polish, but I don't feel bad spending 25 bucks on it as it is.
As I mentioned elsewhere, valheim, 7 days to die, rust (now released!) are all worth.
2023's darling, BG3 was in early access for years and feedback during early access made it better.
Yes, I love Larians Early Access.
You can basically play the first map all the way through, and it is so big it feels like a full game.
But then the full game releases and you're like "holy fuck there is so much more content".
Valheim was an absolutely soul sucking addiction for me and a couple of friends holy shit I hadn't gamed like that in a decade.
I like soloing most survival crafters but valheim really is more fun with friends. Going sailing with the whole crew and just talking about stuff and vibing to the music is great.
