This in my opinion is a horrible take. There are many games that companies just realize are not going to take off and therefore are not worth finishing, preventing a company from publishing a game because they have another game that they are not intending to finish that’s still an early access is a horrible way to cut Innovation and prevent what could be very good games from publishing.

The very game you’re commenting about is one of them, palworld was originally created as a jab to Pokemon that was its entire point of creation as more or less a joke it wasn’t meant to be serious until a little bit into development. If they had been restricted down under what you’re talking about they might not have even bothered launching it because nobody expected the game to take off the way it did.

Steam should not be punishing someone for using Early Access the way it was meant to be used, which is to demonstrate a game that is in early content state. As a consumer, you should not be buying Early Access games if you’re worried about the game never being finished, Steam even States this under the description of Early Access. et instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development.
