Steam says those hours you time criminals put in during advanced access now count toward the refund allowance

Give them a break. Punctuation is expensive.

RPS has been shit for a while now. I’m on the verge of just blocking their URL from my feed

Geez, just refund every game every two hours like a normal person.

Good. I mean i hope it’s good. Hopefully this deters people from pre-orders and early access, which then reduces the amount of unfinished shit games being released.
Ive been a “GOTY only” gamer for years. I don’t consider a game as “out” until theyve been released for a few months. I’m not super cool or anything, just very careful with my money and i personally capital letter HATE the concept of early access

I don’t mind early access when it’s done properly by a competent transparent dev. There are many many cases it being abused though and I’ll generally only buy an early access game if I really trust the developers.

I get you there, and i would love to hear your experiences on an early access game(s). Was it fun to be part of the process?
But I’m talking more about AAA releases and how so, so many of them come out as unfinished messes at worst, (Batman, no man’s sky) or at best, long wait times and crashing connections. Even if the game is fantastic on release (say witcher 3? Elden ring?) I know they had problems too) it will have DLC, and if the game is good, i want that too.
But enough about me, i would actually like to hear what i asked earlier
