I propose 2024 is the year of early access games boycott.

Bring back completed games only.

Couldn't agree more.

Games like Valheim or Satisfactory have also been great, despite technically still being in early Access. And, looking back, Risk of Rain 2, Hades and Dead Cells developers have all done excellent job at using early access to develop their games and listen to the community.

Early access, just like any other development model, is a tool. All depends on how it is used.
