can't wait for it

Games in Development = Early Access

passing

well, I sure as hell am not passing

Me neither, but gonna get the game on Steam to guarantee it's always updated.

People who don't like EA can just wait till release and decide then. (June 2018 for Guild 3)

"Three things can happen when you [pass], and two of them are bad."

Okay, that has nothing to do with how I much I agree with you and how much I frown on early access, but I love the quote and it is football season. :P

I'm not unhappy it's going to end up as early development, I'm patient so I'll wait anyway but oh my god, this game is going to be so awesome! Hopefully not as buggy as the 2nd iteration as well.

Which is why it's good to get EA because then development is transparently in the open.

Indeed. Something creepy about people who is afraid of EA to be honest, it's like people who complain about a quick save button and has to use it if it's there.

Should i remind you to We Happy Few ?

I haven't followed that at all, I'm waiting for the full release. The point is that in general it's better to have early development games for people that want it and can support the development. Poor development has much more to do with the people behind it rather than how the structure it.

Not sure what the point is, from what I'm reading it's actually a decent/good game, they just messed up their rep by doubling the price of the game all of a sudden after Gearbox became their publisher apparently.

Matter of time waiting for a proper sale and you still end up with a good game. Don't see the issue.

Either way, EA isn't some magic bullet to good games. It's going to have stinkers, probably more than successful games. That's how game development has almost always been. It's just way more apparent nowadays when you see it happening realtime.

People like to complain particularly about hypocrites or liars because "you are not supposed to be that". I agree, it's not an issue at all. If I want a game, I'll wait until it's on sale for the right price and enough bugs have been fixed.

Indeed, I think that's the problem, that we can see it real time. People don't like seeing problems in real time, something about it that makes our brain unable to "ignore" it.
