QA doesnt exist in most games. I mean why bother? Players will buy a game in “early access”, stumble over bugs, give you a positive review and aggressively defend against anyone who criticises it. Why pay for QA, when you can get paid for it. Industry is fucked and customers stopped demanding better.
It’s one of (several) reasons I almost always wait to buy games till they are older and on sale. Why pay a pile of money today when I can pay less later and receive a more-polished game?
And if it never gets polished or never goes down in price? Well, the wishlist does get purged from time to time…

This is the way to do it. “Oh this looks neat” Early Access “…into the wishlist until it’s done.”
Either it’ll be finished and good, finished and bad, or a flop and I saved my money. There’s no reason besides FOMO to buy it.
