Is getting something to play with your preorder somehow worse than just the promise of a game?

Like, I get that if you buy a game you expect a finished game, but EA stuff is pretty explicitly a preorder that lets you gently caress around with whatever in-development version they have until it properly releases. Some EA games are gonna be pretty close to done, some are gonna be very very far from done.

Yeah, I can't think of any deadlines for the early access games I've looked at. You should go into any early access game knowing that it could be anywhere from barely a game to essentially finished (or do the smarter thing and don't buy early access games).

or buy them with your expectations managed because it's literally a preorder
