Yea there has been much complaint on most of the early access games (either the price is too high - but high price is required to 'appease' the kickstarter tiers (planetary and wasteland); or the early access version is not updated timely (might and magic X; they stopped updating early on though my understanding is they took the players feedback to heart for the final game; but you will have to wait for release to find out). - The two most successful early access (from what I've read - not played either) have been blackguards (aramintal mentioned this) and starbound. I've been totally impressed with the continual feedback on the steam forum for blackguards (both by the devs and the players; very little negatively and continous updates). Likewise starbound (small indie company) has been extermely positive on nearly all boards I've read (hardforum, steam, ..). Another pair of indie game that seems to be getting mix to positive vibes is gemni 2 and age of decadence. - Anyway I wouldn't buy any of those games without first fully understanding what type of game they are and people like/dislike. - I realize I've moved off topic. Clearly larian has taken a different strategy since they cancelled the alpha/beta kickstart tiers to provide more freedom and as we can see they are receiving a huge amount of feedback from the current kickstart players; in-fact I would think they would avoid steam alpha/beta just to keep from being overwhelmed by feedback (which the current crop might be close to reaching).
