That's where I am on games with a firm arc I might actually complete. It's a reason I shelved Xenonauts 2.For me, I just don't play early access games simply because I'm not really a game replayer, so playing games in EA has meant I play them, kind of "burn" them, and by the time he full game comes out I don't feel like playing it anymore so I never experience the full version. This happened to me with several games, and so I've made a point of not trying games until the full version is out.
Less a concern for some kinds where starting at the beginning a lot is a given.
