games

I'm going to wait a bit to see how the developers handle early access. I got into Valheim early access after their hugely successful launch and absolutely loved the game, but after three years of painfully slow and meagre updates the game still isn't properly optimized and is missing about a third of the content that should clearly be there. Those decisions are wholly on the developers, and, while I think the game is great and I got my money's worth, I get the sense that the devs are being precious about doing the work themselves instead of bringing in the resources to deliver what they promised. As a result, it's an unfinished product that I probably won't revisit.

If Palworld has good bones and the developers show they're committed to delivering then I don't see why I wouldn't give it an honest go, but I'm done buying unfinished products that have no guarantee of being delivered on time or in an acceptable state.
