Ja da ist was wahres dran. Das ist auch der Grund, warum ich nicht mit Schick HD anfange, bevor es fertig ist. Für den ersten Eindruck gibt es keine zweite Chance. Und bei keinem Spiel sollten die ersten Eindrücke von Bugs und fehlendem Inhalt geprägt sein. Letzten Endes muss das aber jeder für sich selbst entscheiden. Für ein unfertiges Spiel, egal ob Alpha oder Beta, würde ich niemals Geld ausgeben.

That heavily depends on which game is Early Access and how it is presented. It is also a good way to support certain types of games if you like the concept or demo.

For example, Age of Decadence (which went Early Access) has both demo (contains whole first chapter of game) and Early Access version (contains larger second chapter as well along additional locations) They have pretty much done everything about fight, character development and a good deal of the world along the story.

Despite I supported them far before they went Early Access, if I didn't at that time I'd support them at Early Access definitely. Another good Early Access example is Underrail.

But yes, like everything in the world, after awhile people will be more intelligent about their purchases and actually demand demos and the Early Access will saturate. But as long as one's product is promising, has solid concept, has a solid demo and one can market it well...Early Access will work.
