But you said yourself that you miss out on a lot of gaming sessions because you won't buy EA games. If the game is fun, then who cares what it's labeled? Presumably, your friends think the game is fun enough to play in its current state.

I don't really understand the problem with "Early Access"; just make a decision based on whether the game is currently worth what they're asking for it.

It's more that I would like a complete experience than have features and content trickled to me. I generally don't have time to play a game more than once, so I want the time I invest to get the best return. For me, that's not until a game is released.

This. Pay money for fun.

I don't care if it's in early access if I'm enjoying it. I do care if I'm paying money for an extremely frustrating experience, but this game does look fun if you have friends to play with.
