Hot take: Buying an early-access game because you assume it'll be a lot better down the road is just silly. Just because no man's sky did a full 180 and made an awesome game from a shaky launch doesn't mean any other E-A game will follow the same trajectory.

If you're not happy with the feature set it has when you buy it, and you're not OK with the developer potentially dropping the title immediately, you probably shouldn't have bought it.

The NMS comparison is confusing. NMS didn't have an early access release. It just released and received substantial updates.

Perhaps Valheim is a better comparison?

I feel like I got my money's worth out of it, and I still continue to enjoy it, but plenty of people are really salty about the rate at which it's being finished. And understandably so; it's been years since it entered early access.

I haven't played the latest biome, I got sick of waiting 1+ year for each one and gave up on the game.
