I've been like that for years now. You do not need it. Fuck FOMO.

The only times I didn't wait were games that had millions already, like Valheim, V Rising. And while they were pretty polished honestly, I hate that I have to wait years for updates. Don't get me started on Project Zomboid's abuse of the early access title.

The one time I bought a Early access that was 100% absolutely worth it was Against the Storm. They made Early access like a conversation between player and dev. Baldurs Gate 3's early access (for like two years straight) was also like this!

But the 10 other times I did early access, it was a major headache and not worth it. Do it because you WANT to help the dev. Don't do it if you just want to play something.

Especially since there's so many polished games out now.

I only play single player games anyway. There's nothing I am missing out on by waiting.
