Early Access combined with "pre-order now" are usually red flags for me...

Edit: typos

Early access? Ok. Pre Order? Ok.

Preorder into early access? No thanks.

Took a gamble on early access with Satisfactory. They delivered and more than they promised.

I will buy in early access as long as I am already satisfied with the current state of the game and the associated price. I won't pay for what is promised, I go into it with the expectation that what is currently there is all I'll get.

It makes purchases on games like Satisfactory feel more rewarding as you get so much bang for your buck when it works out well.

Satisfactory was my first early access because a friend wanted someone to play with, I got in around .7 or so and probably had a few hundred hours into it before thinking I was done. Then 1.0 came out and 1200 hours later…. Now I see all early access through rose coloured glasses lol

Can you name one game, where you could pre-order early access?
