Swen tweeted the following video from TotalBiscuit regarding Early Access: https://twitter.com/LarAtLarian/status/424678510398279680

It's a very good video explaining why Early Access at this stage is a very flawed system. People should be urged NOT to buy an early access game except you are a really enthousiastic to the game. I agree completely.

@meme: the reason by Blackguards is considered as one of the solely successful and good early access games is because Blackguards' game is separated in chapters. Every chapter that gets released to early access is a nearly a complete product. It's not an alpha, nearly not a beta: every chapter you get is a complete finished product.
