>>714048130Don't reward developers with a purchase until the game is finished. It just encourages development laziness, and entitled meltdowns. And unless the game is very good you will probably only play it once anyway, so it makes no sense to do that while it's still a work in progress.
The only conceivable upside to early access is joining the "community" to try to persuade the developer to add features you want to the game but we all know that's a road that leads straight to Discord shitholes run by power tripping trannies who will purge you for the slightest of wrongthink.
