As I mentioned to someone else, that's a shame. The only alternative to Early Access = developers having to go hat-in-hand, begging for up-front investments from heartless corporations. They increasingly won't fund anything that isn't fit to be saddled with a games-as-a-service price-gouging model.
When Early Access is abused, it's destroying that necessary system for all of us, developers and consumers alike. If you want games that aren't 100 percent mainstream, money-sucking garbage, you should want Early Access to stick around. That's why I think it should, ya know, suck less, and NOT be abused.
