    Early Access has its place, we’re far better off with it existing than it not. I do still feel it needs to be an opt in thing for you to be able to see on Steam though

      It just always feels like you lose so much of the cultural zeitgeist when the game goes full release.

      Slime Rancher. Eventually Valheim. 30XX. My Time At… it’s like a tepid glass of water rather than hitting that nice ice cold cube glass like you’re trying to get in my pants.

        Yeah it dilutes their release hype, but a lot of these games might also have not released at ALL had Early Access not existed in some form
