It's like buying a tiara for your fetus, before you even buy a crib.

As an indie dev myself, I really appreciate this take. Spot on.

Same. We're almost 5 years into an indie project and while the dream is to release as 1.0, the reality is, building games is really fucking hard and going early access brings about a more forgiving mindset from the consumer and enables our team to further invest in the polishing needed to feel good about calling it 1.0. If only we had the bank roll these AAA studios have, but we're working with pennies and loads of passion to see our dream to fruition.

Good shit, dude. As a fellow indie struggler, I wish you luck!
