This reads to me like 'early access is a scam unless developer I really like does it', to which I counter that BG3 falls off the further into the game we go (so the further away from what was in the early access), with ACT III being really rushed in comparison, evil playthroughs being almost not worth it until they decided to post-release patch in some actual proper evil endings, and let's not even talk about the butchering of Wyll's character in the final release.
Ah, but small indie developer, who only took in millions of bucks even during development, amirite?
