I dont understand why everyone got so triggered this is a fair thought process, and i think game devs should really stop releasing not finished games and than ask for money, like baulders gates 3 they are way to comfortable. yea it may have " more content" but what it really looks like is just fixing the game for what it should've been on release. but what do i know i make digital art and im bad at it

On the game's store page, in the "Early Access" section, if you click on "Read More", you'll get all the info about what you're signing in for by buying the game. Nobody's demanding your money, it's your choice to buy an early access game. Also BG3 has never gone on sale, and I invite you to think about why that is. I don't like either game, and even I can see that you're talking out of you ass.

An entirely new biome seems to be a pretty hefty update to me.

Then throw in the minor content adds over time (like mountain caves) and I am more than happy with the value I have gotten so far for the money I initially spent.

The most interesting thing about these type of threads is EA is a buyer beware situation and so the ONLY person the poster should be upset with is him/herself.

In before it gets deleted.

i seriously dislike these game isnt finished posts. they are such bs, you know world of warcraft? one of the biggest selling games ever, still isnt finished... no game is ever finished.

Im sorry but when was the last time you saw a game with as much polish and content as Valheim? Do you know that this game is being developed by 4 PEOPLE? Do you know that this 20 dollar early access game had a better release than 90% of the AAA titles in today's game market? They did not take your money and run, they are still actively developing the game, especially with Mistlands on the horizon. Please do your due diligence before you make an absolute fool of yourself. For 20 dollars you get an experience that can easily provide hundreds of hours of enjoyment. As a game developer myself I know the struggle and pressure of providing content in today's market, and you placing extremely unfair expectations on an extremely small dev team is childish and stupid. They don't have an army of programmers and game designers at their disposal, so those who are patient will receive something great, and that's what Valheim is doing. They take time with their product and make sure that when it does release something new it isn't a buggy mess, unlike other games released in recent memory.

Man the '''gamers''' these days are so frikkin spoiled, "took the money and ran", are you stupid? Game is on steam, you can play it for hundreds of hours with friends all you want, it is being updated RIGHT NOW and you can't stop complaining. Play Fortnite or go outside, so tired of your stink breaching my laptop screen for real.
Or make your own game and update it every day all you want.

so far 3 boot lickers that think just because the game released and doesnt have many bugs means that its a complete product

You sound miserable, I feel sorry for you.

No, the game isn't finished, but no, they didn't take the money and run, either. If that was their intent they could have sold it to a major studio when it was peaking and retained some royalty rights.

Valheim is an Early Access game. Let's take a look at Steam's definition of Early Access, shall we?

What is Early Access?
Steam Early Access enables you to sell your game on Steam while it is still being developed, and provide context to customers that a product should be considered "unfinished." Early Access is a place for games that are in a playable alpha or beta state, are worth the current value of the playable build, and that you plan to continue to develop for release.

Releasing a game in Early Access helps set context for prospective customers and provides them with information about your plans and goals before a "final" release.

So, is Valheim complete? No
Did they claim it was complete when they released it? No
Did we, the consumers, purchase the game knowing that its state was currently incomplete? Yes
Is the game in a playable state? Yes
Is the game fun? Subjective. My answer is yes, your miles may vary.
Is the game currently being worked on? Yes. They are working on the next zone, Mistlands, and keep people updated as to the progress.

So, the developers have not cut and run. The game is exactly what it says it is, an early access game that is currently not complete. And for a small development team, they're doing a better job than some AAA companies who have all the money to throw at their projects. Even if the game never completed, I'd say almost 250 hours of gameplay has more than compensated me for my $20 purchase. How many other forms of entertainment can say the same?

Labor of love is not exclusive to "completed games."
Get over it.
If steam wanted to limit it to games that aren't in early access, they would have done so.

Stop clown farming.

i love the game....but i dont think early access/unreleased games should be getting a reward.

wow people are getting banned for stating the obvious about the state of the game.
Pathetic devs and mods.
