Have to disagree. Early Access is quite similar to crowdfunding start up companies - only we actually got something in hand right away.

As for the op, playing something else for a bit is decent advice. I was playing DayZ forever and it got stale so I switched to Valheim. DayZ has now had a few decent updates and I've forgotten a lot of the minutiae plus a lot of that has changed. When I go back I hope it'll be a new journey.
