I propose 2024 is the year of early access games boycott.

Bring back completed games only.

Enjoying palworld quite a bit despite bugs, and the input (and money) will probably make the end product a better game. BG3 is another example of a game that was wildly successful due to EA.

I'll judge these on a case by case basis. But I think the issue is less EA titles and more titles that are released not as EA but obviously broken.

And even those are a mixed bag, like Cities Skylines 2 should be in EA, but as an informed gamer i still knew what i'm going to get on day 1 and despite all the downsides it's enjoyable and i wouldn't choose to play C:S 1 instead
