early access is a blight on gaming

I'm just so sick of lazy devs taking a decade to release a game that should be done in a few years. Seems to happen every time, Bannerlord, 7days to die, project zomboid, valheim the list goes on an on. Once they have our money they just become complacent and stagnate.

Damn, almost sounds like you shouldn't play early access games and not worry about it if you don't like it then huh? O wait you lost your brain? Oh makes sense with your 131 hours in valheim early access. LMAO

Please for the love of whatever you believe in, why do you keep punishing yourself in the continuance of buying Early Access titles? There is no one else to blame but yourself.

I find people whom are not software developers seem to know how best software development works. They think games like Valheim should take 1 year tops to make. "Just hire 1,000 programmers and work 24/7!!!111 Herp Derp!111!1"

As someone whose been gaming since the 1980s and have been a software developer since the 1990s, I understand why a new gaming company is eager to tell their supporters their ideas via a road map. However, because I have this experience, I also know down the road, things change. With that said, if you have experience with other Early Access titles, why don't you have experience with Valheim being an Early Access title?

It's reasonable for IronGate to change their roadmap timeline. So long as it's timeline changes and not core changes.

Don't like it? Then never again buy Early Access. For me, I will continue to kick start and buy Early Access titles because I understand the process, time, and risk.

Also, why are you in such a rush to have Valheim release 1.0 immediately? Don't you have other things to do besides Valheim? ;)
