Can you muppets stop throwing away money on awful companies producing subpar games?

I propose 2024 is the year of early access games boycott.
Bring back completed games only.
You're viewing a single thread.
There's nothing wrong with buying early access games. You as a buyer just need to be happy with the current state of the game at the time of purchase.
And the price should reflect the game's current state/value, not some hypothetical roadmap.
So more like Kerbal Space Program, less like Kerbal Space Program 2.
Exactly this. I tell my friends not to get their hopes up too high about Palworlds eventually being completed because the studio has a history of abandoning titles in early access. I'm not telling them not to buy it or that it's not worth purchasing, but to weigh if where it's currently at is worth the price they're charging.
The studio may use the funding they got from its spike in popularity to actually complete a title just as well as they might sell out to a bigger studio (I'd imagine The Pokemon Company would love to buy then bury it), or abandon it entirely. We don't know what the future holds and we do know the studio has a history, so keep that in mind when you're purchasing or when you're asking yourself if it was worth the buy.

Which one have they abandoned? Because Craftopia still gets updates, and last year they got the open world update, which is a massive change.
I see a lot of people shitting on Craftopia saying it's a BotW ripoff, while its fun and completely its own thing (ok, asset wise and sound wise eerily similar, but gameplay has nothing to do with BotW)
I am not sure about the pokemon company. Palworld is a completely different genre than pokemon and therefore not really a competitor.
really, do tell, what games have they abandoned in early access?
Craftopia which is basically palworld without the Pokemon aspect. I got burned by that one a few years ago which is why I'm still reluctant to pick up palworld. I think they did the same with their other game (now removed from steam), but I can't remember the name of it.
Never grave is the one you're thinking of
Craftopia was updated last week and is still being actively developed but whatever you want to believe
