Early access is a scam.

Games still in early access for 10 years.
Absurd.

Even if it's only for 1-2 years, by the time it is fully released, no doubt you would be sick of the title from overplaying it for the past year or two.

There should be stricter rules for early access games, and mandatory updates/reports/workflows and so on, or the game should be removed.

There is way too much garbage in the Steam store.

Anyway, I am right.
Good day to you people.

If you don't like them, don't buy them, get some self control...

It's only a scam if you're not told what you're actually buying.

Early Access games are explicitly labeled as such. Hell, this warning even comes before the "Cart" button! You're told, explicitly, that you're buying an unfinished game. If you then agree to buy an unfinished game,that's not a scam. That's you making an informed decision.

How many times does this make this thread being made by the OP now?

READ the BIG BLUE BOX that is on the store page of EVERY Early Access game.
It tells you that the game is NOT complete and may never be finished and you are buying it for its CURRENT state.

If you decide to buy it and then get upset that the game isn't getting updates, well you got EXACTLY what you payed for.
