I propose 2024 is the year of early access games boycott.

Bring back completed games only.

I like early access games because at least you know the game is unfinished.

And the game is making money while still being in development, so the devs can take their time without having to worry about deadlines.

Early access games can also change fundamental gameplay aspects since it's in development, so if a feature sucks, they can just remove it.

Unfortunately if you liked that feature, it is gone now.

I like the GOG approach to EA:

"Rollback in GOG GALAXY — Keep playing your game if the newest update is not doing it for you, or revisit historical version snapshots."
