When Developers abandon early access games.

[Grand Captain Speedy Dash]

I think when a developers abandons an early access game in a very buggy state that the game should be pulled from the store preventing them from pulling any more money in from a game they abandoned.

[999999999]

Report the store page and move on.

Don't bother. See unless a dev says they're giving up and abondoning it in Eacc... it's considered to be in develoipment. Especially since there is literally no penalty for a deve renaming the last buiuld as the final build and taking off the Eacc banner.

So OP. If the game's still inb Eacc, it's still in development. Regardless of how much you believe it's been too long. This is game development. It can take years. Just look at DN4E

As long as EA titles are limited to one at a time per developer...

(I have no idea...are they?)

If a game is making money, it means people are still buying it.

And if people are still buying it, it means people still want to play it.

Kiddies have no idea how the real world works.

Why do people constantly post threads like this and not say the name of the game.

They have absolutely no credibiluity doing that.

This might actually be a good idea, if it's not yet implemented.

Because they didn't actually play any Early Access games. They just like to ♥♥♥♥♥ about Early Access because they are looking for validation from the Steam Community.

I'm talking about the games that leave early access unfinished, I like early access but just want there to be more of a punishment for those who abuse it.

as the second comment already said they could just name the last version they made as the finished version of the game ,then it would be even worse cause you would buy an abandoned and unfinished game while you think you are buying a complete game (and obviously if there will be some kind of punishment for abandoned games every publisher will just say that the game is finished ,instead of abandoned)
edit: also note that there is some early access game which is a way better than many "complete" games ,early access just mean that they want to add something more to the game ,not that it's a bad game to play

Yes which is why it's the people that need to tell Steam when a game is abandoned.

Edit: Yes I know some early access are better than already release games some even fully complete with just more stuff to add which is why I support early access but I think they need to add more rules to help lessen the abuse of the system.

mmm ,im not sure that giving power to the ppl about early access is a good thing ,there are too many ppl who cry cause they thought they was buying a pre purchase ,or cause they don't like the finished game (and when they bought it they thought it was going to be a different game) ,or cause they don't realize that the game may need several years to be finished ,honestly im not sure about it ,i think that there would be too many reports for stupid reasons

It's not perfect but you can't trust the people who try to abuse the system to tell the truth so the playbase is the one to ask if something is getting abandoned. In a perfect world there would be no abuse but since this isn't a perfect world and there is abuse you need to try and find the best possible way to have the abuse reported, also I'm not meaning for Steam to just act on the word of the people but to test the claims and see if the game is unfinished.
