I think I'm more of the "in between" right now. I decided to buy in looking to see if this would be something that could captivate me for a couple of years. EA certainly won't do it, once I finish the chapter, I'll be checking in weekly, I suppose, to see what kinds of things get changed, but full release will be what makes it or breaks it for me. So far, I'm having a lot of fun with it, some expected issues aside.
