early access games

[Lieutenant]

so..steam took away greenlight just to make early access games more popular or something? all I see is crowdfunded games who beg for money for half made booty games..so they can buy their assets and claim they made and coded it..this should be illegal to do on steam

You're not looking properly then. Games like Don't Starve, Darkest Dungeon, Rimworld, Factorio, Slay the Spire, Streets of Rogue are examples of great Early Access games, some of them are fully released by now.

thanks for letting me know what my eyes see

Easrly Access games are obviously not for you - and the devs dont want someone like you buying their games.

Early Access isnt going anywhere.

just saying I remember when games came out finished... but now its nothing but asset flipping for most of these games coming out which is killing those who are actually doing something and making great games. steam direct is a load of crap.

Thats not even close to true. ...and how does someone making crap games impact someone making a good game (killing)?

You make no sense.

Again: Those devs do not want someone like YOU buying their games.

Steam is supposed to take what The - Gas - Man wants to see in the store as some sort of sacrosanct, important issue? Why?

[Lieutenant]

sure whatever you guys say I respect your freedom of speech now respect mine - everyone knows its true..games coming out half finished begging for money or claiming they made the game from scratch, making the same games that's already out.. I know somebody will probably report this post in spite of saying "hes harassing the community because he said steam direct sucks :( !!" never fails.
call it what you want like I will - in other words early access has become another synonym for "need money to develop game plz"

Ya...and? if youre not interested in that proposition, then dont buy it. Duh.

Why the hell should YOU decide what *I* can buy on the store. Who the are you again?

You assert. Someone else provides contrary evidence. You repeat your assertion, with added poisoning-the-well.

Some developers may abuse early access, but certainly not all.

You’re the one advocating laws, particularly what appear to be draconian laws regarding legally-contracted property.

I never told you not to buy it don't put words on my messages kid

[Crazy Tiger]

You did say in your OP that it should be illegal. If illegal, one can't buy them, right?

Edit your OP - dishonest.

Still left in the word "illegal".

So, where shall I buy games that your simple mind deems "illegal" then?

YOU dont get to decide what I buy, or where. Your "suggestion" is ♥♥♥♥, and based in nothing but the ♥♥♥♥ of your own opinion.

Greenlight has been gone just about 2 years too, so on top of not knowing what youre talking about in regards to EAg - youre two years behind on awareness too.

Dont buy EA games. Problem solved. Simpleton.

A great idea heavily abused.

Just a FYI o.p., there is no such thing as 'free speech' on a private server and you don't understand the concept of free speech period.

Valve sells early access games, people want to buy them, and exactly why do you get to determine what a business sells?

Do you do to stores like Wal Mart or Amazon and demand they only sell what you approve of like you seem to be doing with Valve in this thread?

There are several games many people don't think should be sold on Steam, but guess what, Valve gets to determine what sells, customers decide what they will buy.

I dislike Call of Duty, cancelled my monthly subscription on Humble monthly because that was the game promoted for June, guess what. neither Humble not Steam care what I like or dislike.

Just ignore EA games.
