Welp, is there a message here ?
i do question the whole Game Preview programme. To my eyes it has taken the steam out of Grounded and i see many examples in the PC space of games never actually leaving early access. Just soft launching in an unfinished state and then losing the interest of the audience.
Yeah, but to an extent I get it. Game Preview/Steam Early Access was supposed to have been meant for indie devs that are making large multiplayer games with no budget like DayZ, Squad, Valheim, PUBG etc. but this started happening so much over the past 5-6 years that these same devs become complacent and take years to actually finish their game no matter how successful or profitable their game is. And this has gone into the AAA landscape. Like, why do major studios like Obsidian or Epic Games need to release their game in this state? Grounded may been a super small project with barely any devs or funding, but in this day in age, there's no reason to release it in a state like this. Many forget that Fornite is still in early access despite being almost 4 years old lol
Yeah maybe this topic is worth its own thread because I'm sure someone can tell us what we're missing.
Game development takes way longer than it did before so if a developer just releases a large multiplayer game, and it doesn't take off, then it's basically dead. I can think of plenty of games that could have benefitted from a game preview release first, but didn't. Grounded was in development while Obsidian was still independent and they aren't going to suddenly change their plans of an early access release just because they were acquired. It's a small team after all, and getting player feedback is important for a game like Grounded. "In this day and age..." What does that even mean?
