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

Bring back completed games only.

And there's more than one way to do EA.

KSP 1 started small and free, added more stuff and went purchase but cheap. On the other hand, KSP 2 went straight for full-price AAA game price yet lacked a ton of features and terrible performance (it was clearly rushed out).

I wonder if that has much to do with the original being made by a small startup company named Squad, while the sequel lists Intercept Games as the developer and Pirate Division as the publisher?

Likely, there was some drama with one company poaching devs from the other and the publisher doing a switcheroo.
