Huh? Early access games have been a thing for at least the past 5 years solid, no question. At this point it’s just a standard. It’s rare to find a game come out that isn’t early release. The trend isn’t going away because there will always be a line of morons to buy the game full of bugs and people lap it up.

It can help some indie studios out with continued development, so I think it's fine as long as they continue to refine the game and put out timely updates. Some games even feel finished already even if they technically aren't.

I agree there is a place for it. However it’s heavily abused by the industry to make an extra buck at the expense of the consumers
