Steam Early Access

[Luk3us 63]

So if you didn't know on Steam there is a section called "Early Access" which allows you to buy unfinished games.

 

Thus far I've purchased about eleven of these games, and only about three of them update on what I would call a regular basis. The rest, well updates seem far and inbetween.

 

So what are your experiences with this new business model? Ya or nay?

I would happily sell an unfinished game with a promise that you will probably enjoy it when it's finished. If I were to ever pay money for one, I'd feel obligated to commit myself into a psychiatric hospital.

Right now I see it as a purchase method only for the hardcore fans that wants to check in early. It's fine, as long as it doesn't become the industry standard for developers and publishers.
