You should change the name of this topic from Disappointment to Entitlement.

If you don't feel like playing in Early Access, then don't buy Early Access. Wait for a full release.
Games take time to develop, especially so when more than half of this year was shit on by a global pandemic.
The "work put into it" is the only excuse that matters, so you don't actually understand the tremendous amount of effort that it takes to develop a game in any way.
Also, not sure if you're new to the idea of Early Access, but it's been this way for many, many years.
If you don't want to pay for something that was very early on identified as an incomplete experience due to early access, then don't, but don't claim that a company that's been fantastic to its community for over 20 years is being greedy, especially when they're even allowing us access to the game in an unfinished state to begin with. It's ridiculous and you're clearly just trolling.

The audacity these days, I swear.



I don't want to fall to bits 'cos of excess existential thought.
