Agreed, but I like that they are at least trying and listening to fans/customers. At least some of them. I do think the "early access" business model has become the new "cash grab and go" scam. There are a lot of good devs with great ideas being lost in the shuffle.
I do appreciate the devs who are trying to improve the experience for the players but the majority are grabbing the cash and running, like you said. Even the ones that make it to gold are dead because everyone got burned out in alpha/beta... I blame Steam.
