I'll grab early access for either a new studio or a studio with a history of taking their early access to full completion so that there can be more options, but not for IP that's in the hands of mega studios/ones with a long history or ones with a history of giving up on previous early access projects.

I got Valheim, Rust, and Raft all early access and I've thoroughly enjoyed them as well as seeing how they have been developed since I don't know much about game dev and it's interesting to me. Kinda like watching plants grow.
