I waited throughout the entire Hades II early access before playing it cause i wanted to play the completed game, but 1.1 was announced and it just took the wind from my sails.

“Stop releasing unfinished games” used to refer to unpolished and buggy games to me, but now it’s free content patches, definitive editions, episodic releases… i just wanna play a full game without having to go back and replay it

When I first bought Persona 5, literally a week later Royal was announced and coming out soon. I still haven’t played SMTV in my backlog and knowing a more complete version now exists, I feel robbed. I buy plenty of Sega titles but I do hesitate with the Atlus branch because of this.
