What do you call the thing you can load up and play right now?
A farce, if you go by the last time I tried it a year or two ago. And before you tell me I need to keep checking it out: I backed the kickstarter. I have given them plenty of time.
If this ever magically becomes a game, great. As it is, it's been one very long grift and I am glad I didn't give them anything beyond what I lost in that initial backing.
"Load up and play" is a very loaded statement. When I tried it, about a year ago, it was a buggy, glitchy, crash-prone mess that ran like deepfried garbage.
Sure, like most early access things.
I get it. They deserve a lot of criticism. But pretending it's vaporware when there's a tangible product you can try - buggy or not - is a really stupid argument.
Which you can Access... Early.
