No

Hey steam I am not gonna buy any more games from here unless you sort out your early access rules - support for at least a year after release - and ea games must have an update within 6 months or be kicked off - don't care what anyone else thinks really unless they agree.

Hope not but when I got games sat in library for 4 years hoping for an update it gets a bit annoying.

.... four years doesn’t even seem that onerous, to me—my self-imposed Dwarf Fortress hiatus has lasted longer than that.

I think I'm just burnt out on games, the only ones that seem to interest me and bring me back to that golden age are ea... but I am now seeing that that is the big con.

Pacer was in Early Access for five years, began life as a Kickstarter, and unless I am mistaken (which is possible, but I'm looking at all of their available updates, and) it looks like it had no updates between December 2017 and September 2018, which is over eight months.

Early access is probably not for you. :messagebottle:

I like ea but we don't live forever do we unfortunately.

Apparently not.

Maybe I ask for too much ... I just wanted a game that I had helped support to be available in my lifetime... I know it is a lot to ask for.

Correct, that is one of the main reasons I'm here 😊

If you want to watch a game grow from your "Investment" then you should actively market the game so it gets more sells thus more employees thus faster updates, If you cant do that then dont complain when it gets little updates when most EA titles are 1-3 devs on the team developing the game they dont have any of the resources double or triple A has

If you're interested in an EAG (Early Access Game), perhaps wait until it's fully released.

Keep in mind some of the better games, have been in Development for a very long time before release like 7 Days to Die.

7 Days and RUST have also significantly changed graphics over time. Other EAG's may or may not be worth it, but if you think they won't last until release or later, just don't buy the game.

Why don't you just ignore EA & Early Access?

You can even set up ignore filter preferences for these so they just don't appear in the store for you. From your perspective they're then as good as dropped!

See? Easy. But you have to use the tools, ONE time, that Valve provided you in Steam to set this up.

You played it for more than 300 hours... including 20 hours in the last two weeks. You gave it a positive review despite saying it's been "abandoned" back in April. And continue to play it, as of yesterday. I mean, that's your prerogative of course. But... ?

[Zekiran]

Then, don't buy games?

I mean, put your money where your mouth is. Stop playing games that you believe aren't 'finished' in time for 'your grandkids' (are you like... 20 yet? guessing not, because time seems to flow much differently for teenagers than it does for adults...).

Or, you could wait until a game is actually PUBLISHED, to buy it. But otherwise, dude, either stop being a hypocrite or stop actually buying and using games on steam.

You are not an 'investor'.

You are a CONSUMER. Nothing more, even if you 'backed a kickstarter'. That doesn't make you a moneybags-lending investor in a product. It means you bought an unfinished game while knowing it was unfinished and being warned *constantly* that it may never be finished.

Yeah good idea, but wouldn't it be nice knowing that your investment in a game would definitely be getting worked on and might become a reality one day.

If that's so important, wait for that reality to happen and only put your money when it's a reality.

Early Access is more about the travel than about the destination.

I think this should be the slogan that appears underneath every title that is in early access.
