I'll never understand people jumping to play unfinished games. There's no way most of those 100k people are actually going to participate in the ea feedback / qa process, so all they're achieving by playing early is spoiling the game for themselves with an inferior version. It's not like this is made by an inexperienced studio that might keep it in ea indefinitely neither, you literally just need to wait a year to play it when it's released. /r
The first game was amazing. This one really doesn't feel unfinished as-is though. There's likely to be tons of balance changes, and I'm sure there will be bug fixes and more performance optimization updates to come... It's still super fun, why wait
Guess the first one was even worse than this one at this stage of development, but nobody knew about the game yet. I'm still waiting for the finished product (as I did with the first one), I don't want to spoil me.
Cool, it'll still be there when you're ready.
