minus-squareSibbo@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up17arrow-down1·2 years agoWasn’t it also early access? At least some part of it? Or am I remembering the wrong game.
minus-squareNeato@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up35·2 years agoI’m confused why people are upset at early access. It can be done badly to sell a game that isn’t finished for full price. But Larian has always done early access this way: first act for testing. And it works great.
minus-squarebouh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up26·2 years agoIt was early access for like 3 years. Which allowed them to release a fully finished game, or the closest we had from that state since no one remembers when actually.

minus-squareVikingHippie@lemmy.wtflinkfedilinkarrow-up13·2 years agoYup! A couple YEARS early access even, afaik!
