Planetary Annihilation's early access was ridiculous.

How long has DayZ been in Alpha? Or is it in Beta now?
I can't even remember

Yup.
Early access is a bad idea most of the time.
It's a good idea to look at other games the devs have actually made before buying into an early access game.

Mind, it's also a stupid idea to expect games to be finished in a year.
You shouldn't.
It takes a while to finish a game. Especially for small teams.

Why would anybody ever knowingly pay for an unfinished game?

Tyger · November 17, 2014, 10:58:05 PM

AAA games don't even get finished these days

I'm assuming they will never finish this thing?

Id be more willing to throw my money at an unfinished indie game than paying 60e for a shitty 'AAA' game.

Meh, KSP was worth it.
You just have to be selective about what devs you'll buy in to.

Because it's still an alpha? Games take more than a year you know.

DayZ has been around a lot longer than a year. That's what I mean.

Yeah, as a mod for ARMA II. The DayZ standalone is a year old.

OK that makes sense then.
