I Bought 3 Early Access Games, and Only One Survived

During the Steam sale, I bought three Early Access games. I spent about 70,000 won in total.

The first was a roguelike, the second was a construction sim, and the third was a survival game—and in the end, only the third survived. I dropped the other two after 6 hours and 3 hours, respectively.

No matter how impressive an Early Access roadmap looks, if it isn't fun right now, it's over. "It'll get better later" doesn't work. From now on, I'm just going to buy finished games.

Same here. I get hyped looking at the roadmap, then around the 5-hour mark the reality check hits—I keep repeating that pattern... Now when I buy early access, the only thing I look at is, 'Would I have fun for 20 hours with it in its current state?' If not, I don't buy it.
